Productivity and Productive Capital: Metaphysical Perspectives

Author

  • Chatterjee, Sidharta

Abstract

The research examines productivity and productive capital formation and the dynamic interplay between various factors of productivity. We attempt to derive a metaphysical perspective on the theory of productivity in relation to human capital formation. A simple model of productivity function has been designed to explain the underlying principles.
