作者提出了一个综合的权力资源理论和福利生产制度理论来解释不同的人力资本形成在发达民主国家。他们强调社会保险、技能形成和公共教育支出之间的相互促进关系，区分了三个不同的人力资本形成世界：一个是以再分配和对公共教育以及特定行业和特定职业职业技能的大量投资为特征的世界;一个特点是社会保险和企业特定和行业特定技能的职业培训较高，但公共教育支出较少;另一个特点是私人在一般技能方面的大量投资，但在公共教育和再分配方面的支出不多。他们将这三个世界追溯到资本主义组织、选举制度和党派政治的历史差异，强调了支撑这三种模式的政治联盟形成的独特特征。他们还讨论了跨时间和空间的不平等和劳动力市场分层的影响。
The authors propose a synthesis of power resources theory and welfare production regime theory to explain differences in human capital formation across advanced democracies. Emphasizing the mutually reinforcing relationships between social insurance, skill formation, and spending on public education, they distinguish three distinct worlds of human capital formation: one characterized by redistribution and heavy investment in public education and industry-specific and occupation-specific vocational skills; one characterized by high social insurance and vocational training in firm-specific and industry-specific skills but less spending on public education; and one characterized by heavy private investment in general skills but modest spending on public education and redistribution. They trace the three worlds to historical differences in the organization of capitalism, electoral institutions, and partisan politics, emphasizing the distinct character of political coalition formation underpinning each of the three models. They also discuss the implications for inequality and labor market stratification across time and space.
