AZEVEDO, Mário Luiz Neves de. Public good, human capital theory and commodification of education: conceptual approaches and an introductory presentation on "public" in the CRES-2008 and CRES-2018 Declarations. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.873-902.  Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271993591.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the so-called human capital theory and to clarify the concept of public good, as well as the frequency of the expression "public" in the Declarations adopted at the Regional Conferences of Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2008 and 2018. For this, in methodological terms, this article analyzes documents from certain International Organizations (UNESCO, World Bank and OECD) and seeks theoretical support in Reinhart Koselleck's History of Concepts and other authors such as Roger Dale, Susan Robertson, Bob Jessop, Stephen Gill, Paul Samuelson , Karl Polanyi and Pierre Bourdieu.

Keywords : Public good; Human capital theory; Commodification; Education; CRES 2008 and CRES 2018.
