Category:Tools And Instruments

This category defines what it means for something to be a tool or an instrument, which I both cases is something defined in terms of its usage to some end. This is the deeper conceptual basis for concepts like capital (money with a purpose; a tool) or financial instruments in the most literal sense of that word (some contract used to achieve some investment objective). This category is intended to be entirely conceptual, providing the disambiguation between concepts that are often conflated in natural language, and as such would almost certainly never be included in an application category.
