Traces the origins of social capital through the work of Becker, Bourdiey and Coleman and reviews the literature across the social sciences. This book is topical and uniquely critical of social capital.
The idea of Social Capital is an attempt to incorporate social considerations into mainstream economic thinking. Its proponents feel that social factors are properly quantifiable. So, they use the compex algebra and statistics beloved of mainstream economic theory and measure ''units'' of health care or education in the same way that they would machinery or transport.
Ben Fine''s main argument in this book is that such concers cannot be judged in terms of mathematical methods and that to try t odo so is overly simplistic.
Fine assesses the impact of Social Impact across the social sciences and shows how economic analysis is being subsumed into these areas and how thinking in sociology and politics impacts upon economics.
