It is well-written in an informal and engaging style. It is very comprehensive in coverage, both in terms of large topics and in terms of the relevant literature. It is nuanced, balanced, and authoritative in tone. The micro-, meso-, macro-framework works very well indeed. This book will instantly become the best overall introduction so far to the rapidly increasing literature on social capital. I will surely use it in my own graduate and undergraduate teaching. This is a kind of book that I wish I had written myself.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Putnam, Harvard University; author of \u003ci\u003eBowling Alone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction: concepts, history and measurement\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Economic Performance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Health and Well-Being\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Crime\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Education\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Government and the Effective State\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Trends in Social Capital\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Causes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Policy Implications\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404356657495,"sku":"9780745625478","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/social-capital-9780745625478","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
