Human capital | Finance & Capital Markets | Khan Academy

Basic overview of capital and human capital. Created by Sal Khan.

Watch the next lesson:

Finance and capital markets on Khan Academy: When are you using capital to create more things (investment) vs. for consumption (we all need to consume a bit to be happy). When you do invest, how do you compare risk to return? Can capital include human abilities? This tutorial hodge-podge covers it all.

human labor could be replaced with machinery. Which is faster, more productive, doesnt stop, doesnt need a salary. Actually it is said, that almost 80% of the jobs that exist today could be replaced by machines. Then the people can concentrate on more important thinks where you actually need to use your brain to do them.

What about water, sewer, gas, electricity, rail, roads for the building? Infrastructure needed to supply the plant.
You can't just clear a lot and plop a building down and start producing. The local infrastructure has to be built up to support the new drain on resources. Otherwise the local populating is going to be pissed when they have no water, brownouts or their sewer lines back up..

@Poleschs I know. Was just being picky. Great presentation.

I never really understood the genocide of WW2 or any genocide for that matter. All the accumulated knowledge, skills, and labor (and potential of the youth) of those PEOPLE. All squandered.
Think how much innovation and production, knowledge and potential was lost.
The difference in productivity between forced labor and incentivised labor are massive. The resources wasted in forced labor and disposing of "undesirables"

how difference of human capital and human resource?

@deadman12078 Dude, Rutherford split the atom. Einstein was responsible for general relativity and special relativity, among other things. I agree with the rest of your post.

I think Khan should stay away from economics, it's too politically charged. But if he is going to do it he needs to teach that Keynesian economics and Marxist economics aren't the only choices.
