Bourdieu's theory sure seems like a variant of the human capital
theory. What are the differences?
BTW, Marx had a critique of human capital theory in vol. III of
CAPITAL (International Publ ed, p. 466): he argued that
the "interest" one earns on one's "human capital" is completely
different from that earned on real capital, either means of
production or financial instruments. A worker's human capital
is embodied in his or her person, while interest can only be
earned by selling labor-power to a real capitalist.
