US Total Capital Flows Mix
Created by humans as a mix of God given natural resources, ingenuity, and hard work, capital – especially human – must be continually maintained and replenished if we are to continue to prosper.
Human capital is –
10 to 20 times the value of real capital
100 to 200 times the thin veneer of financial capital
100,000 times the per capita value of gold
Capital Mix | 1975 | 2005 | 2013 |
Financial | 0.48% | 1.18% | 0.99% |
Real | 4.45% | 7.87% | 6.30% |
Human | 95.07% | 90.96% | 92.71% |
Hence the wisdom of fostering the development and maintenance of that capital, human life, from the cradle to the grave, not as a source of exploitation for private profit, but as a solid basis for a high quality of spiritual life for the whole community.
