[[Economic capital#Social science|Economic capital]] was defined as [[income]] and [[Asset (economics)|assets]]; [[cultural capital]] as amount and type of cultural interests and activities; and [[social capital]] as the quantity and [[social status]] of their [[Friendship|friends]], [[family]] and personal and business contacts.<ref name=BBCResults4213 /> This theoretical framework was developed by [[Pierre Bourdieu#Theory of capital and class distinction|Pierre Bourdieu]] who first published his [[La Distinction|theory of social distinction]] in 1979.
