The document discusses redefining capitalism to focus on creating non-financial forms of wealth and capital. It identifies five types of capital: spiritual, social, human, innovation, and financial. While financial capital is traditionally viewed as the primary asset, the document argues leaders should view the other types of capital as equally or more important assets that can help organizations thrive in a sustainable way over the long term.

Human Capital: The sum of human
