Capital may evolve. Common forms of capital are money and property. For example, a newly formed corporation obtains capital from its founding shareholders in the form of cash plus equipment, land and intellectual property. The combination of these forms of capital are useful for the pursuits of the corporation.
Government bodies use public capital for pursuits generally for social benefit.
Forms of government such as democracy and communism obtain and use public capital differently.
Recently, creative financial minds invented capital formulations that change or blend traditional forms of capital. For example, commitments to support charitable foundations are a new form of capital. The advent of L3Cs can help both profit and social projects.
