Private Fixed Capital

No, the capital wasn't first broken.

Fixed capital represents the tangible, physical assets used to produce a product, but don't get used up as part of the production process. Things like land, the physical buildings, the machines, the computers and filing cabinets in the office...even things like patents and copyrights. Private fixed capital is all that stuff owned by private entities, rather than the government. So...the building where a Tesla is made would count as private fixed capital. The barracks on an army base would be public fixed capital.

The term comes up in economic discourse in Ivory Towers. Academics will look into subjects like "Determinants of Private Fixed Capital Investment in 19th Century Argentina" or "Private Fixed Capital Formation in Developing Countries with Average Rainfalls of More Than 2,000 MM Per Annum." They're tenured. They need to find things to do. So...why not?
