Abstract

The long-term capital system is essential for promoting equity between current and future generations. However, the distribution of capital assets between generations is often unfair and unjust. This commentary discusses interactions among three types of long-term capital, namely natural, manufactured, and human capital, and emphasizes the need for strategic investments that transcend each type of capital to promote equitable development between generations.
