	Factors of production Summary
		One intuitive basis for the classification of the factors of production is the manner of payment for their services: rent for land, wages for labor, interest for capital, and profit for entrepreneurship.
		Their theory is based on the possibility of substituting among factors to design alternative production methods, whereby the optimal production method allocates all the factors to equalize their marginal productivity with their marginal costs.
		Intangible factors of production are subject to network effects and the contrary economic laws such as the law of increasing returns.

	A Glossary of Capital Homesteading, Binary Economics, and the Just Third Way
		The central tenet of binary economics is that there are two components to productive output and to income: (1) that generated by human labor, and (2) that generated by capital.
		The human factor of production, also generally "understood as work for pay." In binary economics, labor refers to all forms of physical, mental and entrepreneurial work that humans contribute to the economic process.
		Money is not a physical factor of production, but rather a yardstick for measuring economic input, economic outtake and the relative values of the real goods and services of the economic world.

		In economics, the factors of production used by a firm in the production of a good or a service are generally referred to as inputs.
		The primary factors of production are land and labor.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Kenneth Boulding's Evolutionary Perspective
		It is much more accurate to identify the factors of production as know-how (that is genetic information structure), energy, and materials, for, as we have seen, all processes of production involve the direction of energy by some know-how structure toward the selection, transportation, and transformation of materials into the product.
		Boulding's factors of production are know-how, materials and energy; hence, a theory which holds labor -- a heterogeneous collection of artifacts of know-how, energy and materials -- as the source of value in the production process has "all the scientific validity of the medieval elements of earth, air, fire, and water." (1981, p.
		Once the traditional factor of production, capital, is reinterpreted as know-how, one can easily conclude that know-how and the growth of knowledge are "the essential key to economic development.

	Roy A. Foulke / The Factors of Production
		One must keep in mind that "production" in economics means not merely the making of things, it also includes the increase in value gained by the transportation or the exchange of things.
		All other revenue is ultimately derived from some one or other of these.'' There was, however, some "puzzling ambiguity and confusion" in the description of these three factors and their inter-relations as explained by the classical economists until Henry George examined them one by one and "reasoned away" their illogical statements and confusions.
		As all wealth is in the last analysis the resultant of land and labor, so is all production in the last analysis the expenditure of labor upon land.

	VDARE.com: 08/17/03 - Trade No-think
		As Professor Roy J. Ruffin writes, [MS Word document HTML] the key assumption of trade theory is “that factors of production must be internationally immobile in order for comparative advantage to reign supreme,” as David Ricardo, the discoverer of the principle on which free trade is based, recognized.
		If factors of production are internationally mobile, they will flow to countries that have the greatest absolute advantage.
		If the mobility of factors of production is what it appears to be, there is a different explanation for the decline of US manufacturing, one that cannot be dismissed as the benevolent workings of free trade: Mobile factors of production are flowing to the greatest advantage—cheap Asian labor.
