"Much-needed critical assessment of a ubiquitous concept in the social sciences"--

Recenzje

?A magnificent book that precisely captures both individual and collective aspects of social capital, differentiates it from structural preconditions, and illuminates its wide contributions to scholarship. Essential for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in the theory, research, and applications of social capital.? Nan Lin, Duke University ?An excellent account of the different aspects and applications of social capital. The book is comprehensive and profound, while nicely connecting theory with measurements. A must-read for researchers, teachers, and students.? Beate Volker, Utrecht University ?This book seeks to bring the complicated and often fragmented literature of social capital into a coherent whole. After applying a dichotomous framework between individual and collective types of social capital to a variety of domains, it proposes a new and more sensible model of social capital. The book contains many interesting ideas and is an essential reading for social scientists.? Yaojun Li, University of Manchester
