Editing Human capital

'''Human capital''' or '''human resources''' refers to the people involved in making some project happen, or available to some [[organization]] in case they are required.  In macro-economics, the term means "a human being treated as [[financial capital]]," period.  That human's salary is treated the same as the yield of a financial capital instrument like a [[bond]], to calculate the value of the humans within the economy.

In micro-economics, the term doesn't mean much except [[labour]], or in the more advanced [[human development theory]] leisure or [[free time]] balanced against labour.  The idea of [[individual capital]] tries to separate the real creativity and contribution and talent and risk that lives and dies with one's real live body and is drastically affected by [[human health]], from the [[instructional capital]] and [[social capital]] that surround them in society.

[[Consumerium Governance Organization]] should probably use the more specific [[styles of capital]] analysis wherever possible to keep track of its assets - we don't anticipate that we can treat people the same way a [[corporation]] or [[union]] does, as interchangeable parts.  Probably we will need some [[creative network]]s and [[faction]]s to form to reflect [[social network]]s with some [[found trust]] we need, and with whom we have [[common interests]].
