Bourdieus forms of capital
Economic capital refers to financial resources, such as money, property, and investments. This type of capital is often seen as the most valuable, as it can be used to purchase other forms of capital and to access goods and services in society.
Cultural capital, on the other hand, refers to non-financial resources that individuals possess, such as knowledge, skills, and education. This type of capital is often gained through participation in cultural practices and institutions, such as schools, museums, and the arts. Cultural capital can be used to gain social status and recognition, as well as to access certain social networks and opportunities.
Social capital refers to the social connections and networks that individuals have, as well as the resources and benefits that come from those connections. This type of capital can include relationships with friends, family, colleagues, and other individuals and groups in society. Social capital can be used to gain access to information, resources, and opportunities that might not be available through other means.
