CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Robert H. Heywood, Bruce and Graham 1997, started that capital is the money used by expensive piece of heavy equipment such as bulldozer a sawmill or a tractor-trailer.

According to Abner 1990, capital is the most important of all the factors of production.   He noted that the more a country uses her capital, the higher the rate of industrialization and therefore, the rate of development, to him, the reason for this is because the developing countries have less of capital that they are still primary producers largely.   He listed some of these developing countries and they includes the followings:

·                     Ghana and other West African countries

·                     Latin American countries e.g Brazil India

·                     North and central African countries e.g Pakistan

·                     East and southern African countries e.g Kenya.

FC Okechukwu 1999 as an accountant, sees capital as funds (usually in the form of assets).  Contributed by the owners of the business and out residual revenue after meting expenses and outside interest.   As a result for a business that is starting operation.  All assets contributed by the owners to set up the business will be regarded as capital.

In the course of his explanation, he mentioned that Pandef sees capital as the total funds invested in the business.   He went further to say that Batty sees capital as the funds used in the business.

Baruam. 1998 reports that another defends of the growth of capital formation in West African is the inequitable distrisation of income.  He noted also, that the very rich people in West Africa tends to become richer while the poor masses become poorer.   He further stated that about 10% of the population of West Africa countries control about 667% of the income again he stated that the few rich people of West African countries can heads their wealth and impound what they can seize, there by invest less in lout productive enterprises there is no sufficient capital to top the human (labour) and Natural (land) resources in West African.

David Begg 2002 defined capital as the stock of produced goods that contribute to the production of other goods and service.   He stated that industry and business organization needs to increase their capital stock, their machinery equipment, factory and office buildings.   He also stated that industry has to modernize its capital equipment and the new growth industries such as information technology needs to interest for future production.

Roy Harrod, an English Economist 1940, in his post war theories on capital, emphasized on human capital.  He defined human capital as the skill and knowledge embodied in the minds and hands of the population.

Increasing education training and experience allows workers to produce more output from the same level of physical capital.

George J. Stigler 1975, Defined capital as anything “other than a free human being” which yield valuable services over and appreciable period of times.   He believes that capital consists of all economic foods except people and perishable such s hydroelectric dams etc.  He also view capital as an accumulated fund of general productive power, past income incorporated in particular physical germs or particular forms.
