Infrastructural capital refers to any physical means of production or means of protection beyond that which can be gathered or found directly in nature, i.e.
In macro-economics the term "infrastructure" usually refers to the added-value of a nation-state relative to the raw natural capital of its ecoregions, e.g.
As both infrastructural and natural capital serve as means of production and means of protection from the elements, macro-economists rarely differentiate the two in their analysis.

 Capital (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Investment or capital accumulation in classical economic theory is the act of producing increased capital.
Such terms reflect a wide consensus that nature and society both function in such a similar manner as traditional industrial infrastructural capital, that it is entirely appropriate to refer to them as different types of capital in themselves.
However, this increasingly distinguishes means of capital investment, and collection of potential rewards for patent, copyright (creative or individual capital), and trademark (social trust or social capital) instruments.

 Infrastructure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Infrastructure is the set of interconnected structural elements that provide the framework for supporting the entire structure.
For instance, software engineering tools are sometimes described as part of the infrastructure of a development shop, and the term infrastructural capital in economics may be overly broad, as it includes a range from clothing to a continent-spanning canal system.
In national security, the term "critical infrastructure" is also extremely broad (although it should be less inclusive as not all infrastructure should be considered critical) and includes support, e.g.

 Desi Hot OR Hot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
When used in contemporary terms, 'means of production' usually applies to land or commons being converted to natural resources, and to that infrastructural capital which is not owned strictly in common but is applied to make "goods".
There is thus a clear distinction between a "means", including autonomous intellectual capital, and a "factor" whose detailed choices are defined by passive instructional capital and limits of infrastructural capital.
The most significant feature of capitalism, in the Marxist analysis, is the fact that the ruling class monopolizes the means of protection, thus of property law enforcement, which keeps the financial capital valuable and convertible into the means of production (all other forms of capital).

 Natural resource - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Natural resources are natural capital converted to commodity inputs to infrastructural capital processes.
Developed nations are those which are less dependent on natural resources for wealth, due to their greater reliance on infrastructural capital for production.

 Financial capital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
When in forms other than money, financial capital may be traded on bond markets or reinsurance markets with varying degrees of trust in the social capital (not just credits) of bond-issuers, insurers, and others who issue and trade in financial instruments.
In effect, the means of money supply and other regulations on financial capital represent the economic sense of the value system of the society itself, as they determine the allocation of labor in that society.
Socialism, capitalism, feudalism, anarchism, other civic theories take markedly different views of the role of financial capital in social life, and propose various political restrictions to deal with that.

Social capital intersects with the individual capital that dies with the individual, since some of the interpersonal ties are specific to the person and their body.
Most human capital and human development theories are hard to understand unless social, instructional and individual intangibles are carefully defined as separate capital asset types or styles.
Social capital refers to the collective value of all "social networks" and the inclinations that arise from these networks to do things for each other." The idea is that "a wide variety of quite specific benefits flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks.

 Bambooweb: Human Resources
Advocating the central role of "human resources" or human capital in enterprises and societies has been a traditional role of socialist parties, who claim that value is primarily created by their activity, and accordingly justify a larger claim of profits or relief from these enterprises or societies.
A contrary view, common to capitalist parties, is that it is the infrastructural capital and (what they call) intellectual capital owned and fused by "management" that provides most value in financial capital terms.

Often, it refers to economic capital in some ambiguous combination of infrastructural_capital and natural_capital.
As these are combined in process-specific and firm-specific ways that neoclassical macro-economics does not differentiate at its level_of_analysis, it is common to refer only to physical vs. human_capital and seek so-called "balanced_growth" that develops both in tandem.

 Wealth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Irrigation and urbanization, especially in ancient Sumer and later Egypt, are thought to have triggered a shift that unified the ideas of wealth and control of land and agriculture.
Protection of infrastructural capital built up over generations became critical: city walls, irrigation systems, sewage systems[?], aqueducts, buildings, all impossible to replace within a single generation, and thus a matter of social survival to maintain.
However, physical capital, as it came to be known, consisting of both the natural capital that made food and the infrastructural capital that made tools, became the focus of analysis of wealth, and ultimately the thesis of Adam Smith that became the basis of modern economics.

 Instructional capital - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Instructional capital is a term used in educational administration, to reflect capital resulting from investment in producing learning materials.
Instructional capital is agreements that can be used to guide or limit or restrict action by individual capital (people, if the instructions are written in natural language) or infrastructural capital (equipment, if the instructions are software).
It cannot generally make either individuals or infrastructure do what they are not trained or designed to do, but, it can help prevent them from doing most stupid, destructive and dangerous things.

 Real property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because real property is essential for industry or other activity requiring a lot of fixed physical capital, economics is very concerned with real property and rules regarding its valuation and disposition, and obligations accrueing to its owners.
In economic terms, real property consists of some natural capital (or land, one of the factors of production especially in agriculture), and infrastructural capital (the buildings, water and power lines, and other improvements necessary to make real property useful for some human purpose).
Other fixed physical assets, indistinguishable economically from infrastructure, such as machines, may be stored on real property and may require natural or infrastructural attributes (such as running water for a turbine or an isolated location to allow loud noise emissions) hard to duplicate even nearby.

 Venture capital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A venture capital fund is a pooled investment vehicle (often a partnership) that primarily invests the financial capital of third-party investors in enterprises that are too risky for the standard capital markets or bank loans.
Investors in venture capital funds are typically large institutions with large amounts of available capital, such as state and private pension funds, university endowments, insurance companies and pooled investment vehicles.
Most venture capital funds have a fixed life of ten years—this model was pioneered by some of the most successful funds in Silicon Valley through the 1980s to invest in technological trends broadly but only during their period of ascendance, to cut exposure to management and marketing risks of any individual firm or its product.

When used in contemporary terms, "means of production" usually applies to land or commons being converted to natural_resources, and to that infrastructural_capital which is not owned strictly in common but is applied to make "goods".
Thus, in capitalism, the means of production are controlled by the bourgeoisie (the "capitalists" - the owners of capital), while in socialism they are controlled by the people's elected representatives and in communism they are controlled collectively by the people themselves.

 Means of production - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The working classes are the principal productive forces of society, since their labor creates and conserves material wealth.
Some green economists, notably, draw parallels between Marx's treatment of labor and natural capital, accepting Marx's view that land is a means, but not a simple factor, of production.
Whether true or false, however, this would not affect the basic idea of means of production; rather, it would simply render it ambiguous where means begin and factors end.

 Instructional capital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In military circles (and some dotcom schemes) instructional capital is sometimes called knowledge capital where it focuses on preventing the "indiscriminate discarding of knowledge as an enterprise asset," Strassmann[?], and can more easily ignore the voluntary nature of instructions passing from persons to persons in non-military roles.
Academics who agree strongly with Marx can use computers made by IBM and software from Microsoft, and few would argue that off-loading individual responsibilities onto reliable instructions or the social network of their colleagues and teaching assistants doesn't in some way improve "production" of the competences they are there to "teach".
However that term doesn't describe a capital asset, as "intellect" isn't as specific or actionable a concept as "instruction".
