According to Ragnar Nurkse, "The meaning of 'Capital formation ' is that society does not apply the whole of its current productive activity to the needs and desires of immediate consumption, but directs a part of it to the making of capital goods: tools and instruments, machines and transport facilities, plant and equipment-all the various forms of real capital that can so greatly increase the efficacy of productive effort. The term is sometimes used to cover human as well as material capital. It can be made to include investment in skills, education and health-a very important form of investment." Ragnar Nurkse's definition merely implies the accumulation of material capital and neglects human capital.
