    It’s not though, right? Capital is stuff. Means of production. Land. Jet planes. Bridges. Sewing machines.

    Money is just tokens that certain people are using to allocate actual capital amongst themselves.

      Eh. Capital is basically anything of value that is consumed to generate flow in return. It can be money, land, resources, etc.
