Noetic Capital and the Economics of Productivity

Sidharta Chatterjee* and Mousumi Samanta

Abstract

Our study examines the potent interrelationships between learning, productivity, and the intellect (intelligence) to show how improvements in our noetic (intellectual) capabilities could help boost productivity in the economic sense. The goal is to make learning more outcome-based to have its effects felt on the broad aspects of development that can positively modulate our productivity levels. In this context, we propose a novel theory of productive noetics that could have significant effect on both human and industrial productivity.

Keywords
