"This is an excellent book. 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."
Robert Putnam, Harvard University; author of Bowling Alone
