I'd still argue the notion of capital is inherently political. Tools aren't, but at the point you aggregate a hammer and a sickle and get some measure of "capital" you are no longer dealing with objective facts.

Which just emphasises the extent to which 'economics' is just campfire storytelling, and not an objective examination of what humans do, or why humans do it, or what humans could do that's different and/or better.

If you want insight into those questions you're better off asking an anthropologist.
