Social Capital
“A network does more than connect; it may provide help, information, trust, and access.”
01 / SUMMARY
In short
Social capital names resources available through relationships, networks, and cooperative norms. Approaches distinguish bonding within groups from bridging across them and disagree about measurement.
03 / SCENE
In the wild
A neighborhood association shares tools locally and keeps links to agencies that can fund repairs.
04 / LIMIT
The limit
It is not popularity and is not always good for everyone; strong networks may exclude, monitor, or concentrate advantage.
FINAL NOTE
What remains
Ask which resource moves through the relationship, who can access it, and who remains outside.
