capital good

noun capital goods

  1. in plural A durable item that is used in the production of other goods or services. Some of the products of the economy are capital goods. For simplicity and as an aid to intuition, I assume that capital goods and consumption goods do not overlap: the m consumption goods are useless as means of production, and the n capital goods yield no direct utility.

    Similar: producers' good
