摘要 英国数字、文化、媒体和体育部刚刚发布了一个新的框架，用于发展有关文化和遗产资本的想法。其目的是提供研究、数据、指导和工具，帮助组织为文化和遗产资产投资提供更有力的理由。该模型将采用自然资本的方法。这篇评论文章谨慎地欢迎这一举措，但指出，与自然资本一样，也存在一些重大的概念挑战需要解决。撇开核心理论问题不谈，这些问题包括定义文化和遗产“资产”并绘制其状况等政策挑战，探索文化和遗产资产“服务”模式（自然资本已经存在）的整体理念的必要性，围绕货币价值作为遗产价值代理的有效性问题，以及围绕将此类模型应用于不同遗产领域以及文化政策和实践的主要问题。文化资本并不是一个新想法，但新的是对价值货币化的进一步尝试。这是一场重要的辩论，但需要适当的资源，以及各部门、从业者和社区的大量参与，以缩小经济学家和非经济学家之间的差距，并真正帮助我们所有人更好地论证对文化和遗产的投资。
ABSTRACT The UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport have just published a new framework for developing ideas about culture and heritage capital. The aim is to provide research, data, guidance and tools to help organisations make a stronger case for investment in culture and heritage assets. The model will adapt an approach used for natural capital. This review article guardedly welcomes the initiative but notes that, as with natural capital, there are major conceptual challenges to be addressed. Leaving aside core theoretical issues, these include policy challenges such as defining cultural and heritage ‘assets’ and mapping their condition, the need to explore the whole idea of a ‘services’ model for cultural and heritage assets (which already exists for natural capital), questions around the validity of monetary values as proxies for heritage values, and major questions around the application of such models to different areas of heritage and cultural policy and practice. Cultural capital is not a new idea, but what is new is the attempt to take the monetisation of values a step further. This is an important debate, but it will require proper resources, and considerable engagement from the sectors, practitioners and communities in order to close the gap between economists and non-economists, and to genuinely help us all to better make the case for investing in culture and heritage.
