Gezien de quote waar je op reageert.
Ik denk dat je vermogen en kapitaal door elkaar haalt, net als Piketty.
Zal het nog even herhalen:
The term capital as it is used in the study of economics can be confusing. Economists know that capital in everyday conversations means money or the money value of paper assets, suchs as stocks, bonds, or a deed to a house. This is actually financial capital. In the study of economics, capital does not refer to money assets. Instead, capital in economics means a factor of production, such as a factory or machinery. Stated simply, you must pay special attention to this point: Money is not capital and is therefor not a resource.
CONCLUSION: Financial capital by itself is not productive, instead, it is only a paper claim on economic capital.
