# National Capital Composition
## Definition
The various forms of productive resources available to a nation, including fixed capital (buildings, machinery, improvements to land) and circulating capital (stock of goods, money for circulation, provisions for workers). Smith emphasizes that money typically constitutes only a small and unprofitable portion of total national capital.
## Source Chapter
Book IV, Chapter 1
## Context
Smith argues against the mercantile focus on precious metals by showing that true national wealth consists in the totality of productive resources, of which money is only a small part. He demonstrates that productive capital in the form of tools, buildings, and materials contributes far more to national prosperity than hoarded bullion.
## Economic Domain
Accumulation
