	Enhancing Community Capitals
		Manufactured capital in a community is composed of its physical infrastructure such as machinery, homes, office buildings, schools, roads, sewers, factories and water systems.
		Some scholars conclude that the decline in social capital and the tendency not to invest in social capital creation is because of the public goods nature of social capital, which means individuals capture little of the asset enhancement of their investment.
		Attention solely to environmental capital can lead to a wasting of human capital and a decline in financial and manufactured capital, as that form of capital preservation is pursued.

	Economic Manuscripts: Capital: Volume Two
		Then capital I is £2,000, consisting of £1,600 of constant capital and £400 of variable capital; capital II is £500, £400 of which are constant and £100 variable.
		The amount of variable capital employed in the course of the year is £5,000 in either case; it sets the same amount of labour in motion, and extracts the same amount of surplus-value, £5,000, from the labour-power set in motion by these two equal capitals.
		Hence it is 10% for capital B and 100% for capital A, i.e., ten-fold.

	TWO ESSAYS ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF SOIL DEGRADATION
		In section 3.1, an analysis of the distribution of natural capital endowments by wealth class is made, followed by an assessment of the importance of natural capital assets in general, and soil capital assets in particular for the incomes of poor agricultural producers.
		Whether or not soil natural capital and manufactured capital are substitutes or complements is a critical determinant of the impacts of soil erosion on productivity and thus farm decision-making.
		Farmers have an initial endowment of natural capital, which includes the degree to which the resources are resilient to degradation processes, the degree to which they are exposed to natural processes that cause degradation and the degree to which the resource has already experienced some level of degradation.

	Constructed Capital (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This form of capital is sometimes referred to as built or created capital, reflecting the fact that it consists of human-built, long lasting, physical items.
		Constructed capital is the form of capital traditionally used by economists to measure economic growth and prosperity.
		The amount of constructed capital in a community determines the demand for human capital (labor, intelligence, and organization), as well as the demand for natural capital (resources, living systems, and ecosystem services).

	Capital -RustySpigot, the computer science source
		For example, investment in skills and education can be viewed as building up human capital (or in more detailed analyses, building up individual capital using instructional capital, recognizing that both the individual and the instruction may benefit from the interation).
		Human capital, which may be analysed further into its social, creative, and imitative components.
		Another prompting for the more exact analysis is that infrastructural capital has declined in financial value relative to human capital, and separate literatures have developed to describe both natural capital and social capital.

	Some Manufactured Housing Mortgages Require Only 5 Percent Down - Inside Mortgages
		If you're in the market for a doublewide trailer, or any other type of manufactured housing, it could be a bit harder to qualify for a mortgage than it was a year ago.
		There are a number of reasons for the tightening of mortgage requirements in manufactured housing—also known as the MH market--explains Alfred King, a spokesman for Fannie Mae, a publicly traded corporation that buys mortgages.
		Even though manufactured housing can be expected to depreciate in value, the land it is on is likely to appreciate over the years.

	Natural capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural capital is a metaphor for the mineral, plant, and animal formations of the Earth's biosphere when viewed as a means of production of oxygen, water filter, erosion preventer, or provider of other ecosystem services.
		The historical distinction between "land" and "capital" was that land is naturally occurring and its supply is assumed to be fixed, whereas capital as originally defined referred only to man-made goods.
		It has been argued that it's useful to view many natural systems as capital because they can be improved or degraded by the actions of man over time (see Tragedy of the commons), so that to view them as if their productive capacity is fixed by nature alone is misleading.

	Lecture 13
		The Bruntland Commission Report of 1987, in what is probably the most commonly cited definition of sustainable development, defines the concept as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
		The difference revolves around the question of whether substitution between human made capital and natural resources are limited (if so, then the focus is on strong sustainability) or unlimited (the focus is weak sustainability).
		Adjusted net saving is the true saving rate in a country after accounting for investments in human capital, depreciation of produced assets, and the depletion and degradation of the environment.

	Building Social Capital: The Importance of Entrepreneurial Social Infrastructure
		In particular, he found a good predictor of social capital in the 1990s was the level of social capital in the Middle Ages, as indicated by the presence of choral societies, male singing groups associated with towns.
		Social capital, which is based on trust, reciprocity, networks and collective action, takes time to develop and needs particular and concrete attention.
		Recent research has shown the importance of social capital as indicated by entrepreneurial infrastructure, for economic development, particularly self-development, where a larger proportion of the value-added by an enterprise within a community remains in that community.

	Robert Gilman - Design For A Sustainable Economics
		As we will see with the other four capitals as well, there is some room for tradeoffs between them, but each is sufficiently unique and vital that there are strong limits to substitution between them.
		MC is the classic form of capital, and so it is the source of many of the conventional ideas about capital.
		That is, at the start of the life cycle of a manufactured object, EC can provide only a limited supply of non-renewable raw materials, such as copper or oil, and can sustainably supply only a limited flow of renewable materials, such as wood.

		This will entail a new perception of value, a shift from the acquisition of goods as a measure of affluence to an economy where the continuous receipt of quality, utility, and performance promotes well-being.
		If a product lasts a long time but its waste materials cannot be reincorporated into new manufacturing or biological cycles, then the producer must accept responsibility for the waste with all its attendant problems of toxicity, resource over-use, worker safety, and environmental damage.
		In manufacturing, about one-fourth of the labor force is engaged in the fabrication of basic raw materials such as steel, glass, cement, silicon, and resins, while three-quarters are emplyed in the production phase.

	Social Capital Let's Talk Archive
		As the contributor mentions, microfinance, with social capital, is another "hot" issue in development, and the nexus between the two is particularly exciting.
		The generally accepted view that social capital (in the form of inter-personal relations between borrowers in group-based lending systems) is the main reason for the apparent success of these programs is the center of a very active debate, however.
		As a recent study of social capital in Rajasthan (by Norman Uphoff and Anirudh Krishna) puts it, "[I]nstruments used to measure social capital in other parts of the world seem to be of little use in Rajasthan.

	Omni Capital: The Great Leap Forward
		According to the fictions of "free market" capitalism spinning out of the Library of Congress in a companion book to its bicentennial celebration, Thomas Jefferson: Genius of Liberty (2000), one must split apart the ideals of freedom and liberty, which are the core tenets of America's promise to itself and the world.
		Thus American capitalism returned in the late 20th-century to a new Robber Baron Era, guided by "market fundamentalism," wielding global technological power, threatening destruction of the American Republic and sweeping enslavement of the whole global population.
		Humanistic (finance) capital, the movement toward a society guided by "the ecological and self-realization ethic, in which the institutions serve the human needs of those whose lives they touch, and in which the inherent incentive structure produces a synergism such that in pursuing his own self-interest the individual also promotes the interest of the whole."

	Sustainability continued
		The existing stock of natural capital must be maintained and enhanced because the functions it performs cannot be duplicated by manufactured capital
		Weak sustainability is the idea that natural capital can be used up as long as it is converted into manufactured capital of equal value.
		The problem with weak sustainability is that, while we can assign a monetary value to manufactured goods and capital, it can be very difficult to assign a monetary value to natural materials and services.

	PRM 255 Sustainable Economic Development (Lecture Notes) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		NDP is GDP minus depreciation of manufactured capital (Km).
		It allows for substitutability among the different types of Q and among different types of K. In other words, it would allow depletion of some Kn so long as investments in other types of K were made that kept the value of Q per capita constant.
		A very strong definition of sustainability would require all stocks of Kn to be maintained in addition to sustaining the per capita value of Q. The feasibility of these different definitions of sustainable economic development obviously depends on what value of Q or stock of Kn is chosen as the level to be sustained.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Introducing "Inclusive Wealth": A New ...
		When valuing total capital to allow substitutability within and between different types of capital, manufactured capital with relatively enduring and genuine welfare-enhancing values should be distinguished from the bulk of manufactured capital that has very short-term values.
		This notion of time needs to strongly influence present-day valuations, which in turn influence substitutability between manufactured and natural capital - particularly given increasing rate of technological advances and the fickle nature of consumer demand which compound problems of rapidly diminishing value over time of most manufactured capital.
		Governments are slow to introduce prices on the direct and indirect use of natural capital, partly because they expect it will disadvantage their economy by increasing costs.
