>Which is easy to measure I think this might be formally incomputable...

  Well, it seems to me intuitively obvious that cultures that value education prepare children better for their economic future than cultures that don't value education. I may not be able to compute it. I may not even be able to measure it. But I think that anyone who disagrees is making a far less reasonable claim than I am making, and therefore has the burden of proof.

    Well, that depends on what you mean by 'education.' If you mean actual adaptive critical thought, then what you say is true, but almost tautological. If you mean rote indoctrination into an existing way of thought, then it is neither intuitive nor obvious that this leads to a better economic future. If you mean something in the middle, then we could land anywhere in between, couldn't we?

    The problem with the computation is over what length of time you define economic future.
