Social Science
In social science, economic capital is distinguished in relation to other types of capital which may not necessarily reflect a monetary or exchange-value. These forms of capital include cultural capital and social capital, and they represent a type of power or status that an individual can attain in capitalist society via a formal education or through social ties. Non-economic forms of capital have been variously discussed most famously by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu.
