本文比较了政治资本(党员身份)和人力资本(高等教育)在中国城市中的相对重要性。来自城市中国的调查数据有力地支持了知识分子新阶层理论的两个关键要素：知识分子将拥有入党的特权，与政治可靠性相关的教育的重要性将加班加点。数据还显示了政治资本和人力资本如何转化为高薪和有声望的工作。也有证据表明，职业流动还有一条不同的道路：对于最具社会声望的工作来说，大学学位--而不是党证--是关键。后毛时代的经济改革一方面造成了政治权力与社会声望和经济权力之间的鸿沟。可以预计，随着改革的继续，这一差距将会扩大。
This article compares the relative importance of political capital (in the form of membership in the Chinese Communist Party) and human capital (in the form of higher education) in urban China. Survey data from urban China strongly support two key elements of the intellectual New Class theory: intellectuals will have privileged access into the party and the importance of education relative to political reliability will increase overtime. The data also show how political capital and human capital are converted into high paying and prestigious jobs. There is also evidence of a separate path of career mobility: for the most socially prestigious jobs, a college degree-not a party card-is the key. Economic reforms of the post-Mao era are creating a gap between political power, on one hand, and social prestige and economic power, on the other. This gap can be expected to grow as the reforms continue.
