The Real Capital Framework: Accounting for Real Assets Beyond Balance Sheets
anselm · x · 2026-10-26
Stephen Hinton's Real Capital Framework (RCF) has evolved from a conceptual science-to-policy bridge into an operational system for regional resilience management, now developing into resource-based pre-budgeting for nations.
Key points:
- The primary constraint on any economy is not monetary wealth but physical real-world resources
- Strict distinction between capital stocks (used but not consumed) and resources
- Integrates Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) insights
- Provides an accounting language for real assets conventional balance sheets miss
