Description of the research topic:

The essence of the research work is to map the diversity that is characteristic of modern social science research related to modern concepts of capital. The purpose of the research is to present the increasingly unified approach, which offers a fertile starting point to better understand the essence of economic-rooted and anthropological-sociological types of capital, their fine structure, and also their relationship with some new(like), non-conventional (heterodox) with an economic phenomenon. What beneficial or adverse effect do the (public) economic trends that have appeared recently - in the last few decades - have on the change in the concept of capital (e.g. endogenous approach, evolutionary economics, knowledge economy, creative economy, environmental aspects, regional sciences, uncounted assets of companies)? What alternative interpretations of capital have appeared in the literature, and are they correct? Is it possible to outline a model or narrative that combines traditional and alternative types of capital - the so-called taking into account capital transformations - can it be grasped together in a unified framework?
