On 'Social Capital'
I get that less-educated people, people with lower levels of social capital, and people who feel like they're outsiders who've been screwed by the system are less invested in this point than I am or than I think they ought to be.
But successful investors and entrepreneurs have no excuse for ignoring the extent to which integrity and the rule of law provide the necessary backstop for everything good that comes out of a capitalist economy.
So I got to wondering about "social capital", what it is and how it works. Some of what I found via searches and following my nose across the lexical landscape, with thoughts about class intruding from time to time:
...goodwill, fellowship, mutual sympathy and social intercourse among a group of individuals and families who make up a social unit... (Hanifan 1916)
Pierre Bourdieu notes "...cultural, economic, administrative capital, physical capital, political capital, social capital and symbolic capital" as other loci of 'capital'
...unlike financial forms of capital, social capital is not depleted by use (David Bollier 2001)
...specific benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks
...connections among individuals — social networks and the norms of reciprocity and trustworthiness that arise from them (Robert Putnam)

...involves the effective functioning of social groups through interpersonal relationships, a shared sense of identity, a shared understanding, shared norms, shared values, trust, cooperation, and reciprocity....
Social capital — the strength of our relationships and communities...
...the sum of the resources, actual or virtual, that accrue to an individual or a group by virtue of possessing a durable network of more or less institutionalized relationships of mutual acquaintance and recognition (Bourdieu and Wacquant 1992)
