Forms of Capital
capital can present itself in three fundamental
guises: as economic capital, which is
immediately and directly convertible into money
and may be institutionalized in the forms of
property rights; as cultural capital, which is
convertible, on certain conditions, into economic
capital and maybe institutionalized in the forms of
educational qualifications; and as social capital,
made up of social obligations (connections),
which is convertible, in certain conditions, into
economic capital and maybe institutionalized in
the forms of title and nobility.
