The four classical factors of production are:
- Land — natural resources used in production (land itself, minerals, water, forests). Income: rent.
- Labor — human effort (physical and mental) applied to production. Income: wages.
- Capital — man-made goods used to produce other goods (machines, tools, buildings; sometimes financial capital). Income: interest.
- Entrepreneurship — the skill of organizing the other factors, taking risks and innovating to create goods or services. Income: profit.
(Some modern treatments also highlight knowledge/technology or human capital as closely related concepts.)
