I think American is correct in that both human capital and the screening hypothesis applies. It would then be reasonable to suggest that the screening use of education cheapens its human capital role (e.g.expenditure in the US designed to maintain intergenerational divides, as the upper classes use education to effectively silver spoon their offspring)
