Computers, electronic generators, desk, and blast furnaces are example of capital. Capital resources are man-made tools, machinery, and buildings used to produce other goods and service. Capital resources do not occur naturally, like land; instead, they are made by applying labor and other capital to raw material. Thus, capital is the only manufactured factor of production. You should distinguish the economist’s definition of capital from the common use of the term, which is money used to start and run a business. That money is not capital; manufactured productive resources that money can buy are forms of capital. You are surrounded by the capital of the higher education industry. Classroom buildings are a form of capital, and so are the books, tables, chairs, blackboards, and other manufactured resources used in “producing” education.
