[FRIAM] capitalism vs. individualism

   "So, what pragmatic reason is there to make the distinction you make here?"

HR often departments act as if the feature space for skills can be represented as a binary vector associated with a given candidate.  That resource is a thing they try to acquire and will get rid of when they no longer need it.   A rich enough company might even hold on to such resources just so that another company couldn't get it.    They aren't as bald-faced as calling their employees property though.   They don't hesitate to use terms like "intellectual property", however.
