Despite increasing research efforts, there is still much confusion
regarding the nature and contribution of the most intangible forms
of capital. This book develops a comprehensive and unifying
conception of intangible capital in order to understand its role
with respect to economic growth, well-being, and rationality. As
the book illustrates, utilizing the intangible capital concept
enables many new and important economic insights. Intangible
capital is defined to include standard human capital, noncognitive
human capital (including personal capital), social capital, and
other intangible manifestations of human capacity. Understanding
intangible capital is a key to realizing the full human potential
of our economic systems. Explaining how the main components of
intangible capital contribute to economic growth, this book will be
of great interest to social scientists in the fields of heterodox,
behavioural and social economics, social capital, HRM, and economic
and organizational change. It will also be of considerable value to
government policymakers and business managers interested in the
role and implications of intangible capital and intangible assets
for productivity, growth and the performance of firms. Philosophers
and psychologists, among others, should find the chapters dealing
with intangible capital in relation to well-being and rationality
of particular interest.
