Dean and Kretschmer (2007, p. 577) highlight the pairing of production factors and
economic actors: landowners, labourers and capitalists. They point out that there are
three hybrid concepts of capital: human capital, social capital and intellectual capital.
They argue that they cannot be paired with one social class but stand at the interstices
between economic actors. However, according to Florida and Howkins (2001a)
intellectual property or creativity is paired with the creative class. They further argue
that this is not an elitist approach because everybody is creative (Florida, 2007, p. 34).
