George Bernard Shaw was criticizing the way that financiers view and treat capital. He believed they lived in an illusory or unrealistic world where they acted as if the “capital of the country” was a real thing that could be counted on, when in Shaw’s view it had no true existence or substance.

The best interpretation is that Shaw saw the concept of capital that financiers relied on as being more of an abstract idea or belief than a concrete reality, and that they were deluding themselves by thinking they could depend on something as intangible as the overall capital of a nation.
