The police in New York City,
they chased a boy right through the park.
And in a case of mistaken identity
they put a bullet through his heart.
Heartbreakers with your forty-four,
I wanna tear your world apart,

Michael,
I have read of 'cultural capital' and 'political captital' which seems
to be equivalent of that obscene capitalist construction called, I
think, 'good will' which corporations can claim as wealth when they sell

Paul, I don't think that human capital is a particularly useful
concept. In the US, student are tracked according to class -- although
it is not official. Even in the absence of tracking, poor students go
to poor schools. So a GW Bush can go and get a Harvard MBA as evidence
of human capital.

Does one tract physical capital by class? Does a backhoe owned by a working
class person have less value than the backhoe owned by GW Bush? Only because
of the social status heaped upon BW Bush by his
Although these terms might be thought to be a bit loose by Marxian
terminology, their merit is that they draw attention to sources of
productive wealth other than finance capital. They therefore pose in
lay terms the question of the social wider social framework in which
finance capital operates.
