4.9/5 (20602 ratings)

Description:In a discussion about some "social capital" theories during our pilot analysis and codebook revision meeting late last week, some references to existing research in this area came up.Following a request, I thought it would be handy to circulate the sources that were part of the discussion - if you ever want to learn about some existing theories of social capital these are good places to start:Granovetter, Mark. 1973. "The Strength of Weak Ties."James Coleman. 1988. "Social Capital in the Creation of Human Capital." American Journal of SociologyThere's also been a lot of work in this area by a Harvard Professor named William Julius Wilson who uses Social Capital as a means of analyzing racial inequality. One of his students, Sandra Smith, also just came out with a really solid book on this topic. Finally, Robert Putnam's 2000 book Bowling Alone is also one of the most widely read academic texts on the subject of social capital and civic engagement in the United States during the late 20th century. It's totally problematic in many ways (e.g. I'm not certain he would know political economy or theories of capitalism if they hit him in the nose), but is nonetheless an impressive and far-reaching analysis of an unbelievable amount of empirical evidence that the texture of social life in this society has changed quite radically over the last hundred years.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
