Between Capitalized Socialism and Social Capitalism
Problems of Economic Transition, 1993Once when we were en route to one of the Baltic republics, our vehicle suddenly swerved on the wet road and spun around several times. There we were in the middle of the night on the right side of a deserted road—just as we should be but without an inkling of the direction we should take or where we should go now.

Linking social capital: a forgotten component of social capital
Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 2016I read with interest the study from Dr Takashi Oshio, where he attempted to address how the association between individual-level social capital and health is confounded by an individual's unobserved time-invariant attributes.1 By reading the methods described by the author, one can find that he operationalised social capital only as two components ...

Scientometrics, 2014
This paper provides useful insights for the design of networks that promote research productivity. The results suggest that the different dimensions of social capital affect scientific performance differently depending on the area of knowledge. Overall, dense networks negatively affect the creation of new knowledge. In addition, the analysis shows that

For the United States, the author focuses on Robert Putnam's understanding of both concepts, showing that the apolitical analysis of the Progressive Era, of the progressive developments in Northern Italy, and of the situation of labor ...

Universal Access in the Information Society, 2003
Physical access to computers does not guarantee access to the information society. To help ensure that the first type of access translates into the second, it is necessary to pay attention to how computer and Internet use can enhance social capital.

Visualisation of Social Capital
2014 IEEE Eighth International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, 2014In this paper we describe the tool we have developed to visualise experimental data on top of the multi-agent simulation platform Presage2 and how we have used it with our Social Capital Framework. The visualisation demonstrates how social capital can be used to self-organise solutions to collective actions problems.

Rationality and Society, 1998
Legitimacy affects returns to social capital. I begin with the network structure of social capital, explaining the information and control benefits of structural holes. The holes in a network are enterpreneurial opportunities to add value, and persons rich in such opportunities are expected to be more successful than their peers. Accumulating empirical

But appropriated as a cutting instrument, it is a tool or, in a somewhat more murderous vein, a weapon. As a stone, it is a natural object. But as a tool or weapon, it is an eminently social object whose natural form is merely the carrier of the social ...

The concept of secrecy has been quite influential both in sociology and in the academic study of religion. The concepts of field and of capital are very helpful if one want to understand the mechanisms of secrecy and concealment that characterize esoteric discourse. Edgar Lawrence Doctorow demonstrates in Ragtime what is at stake here: referring to the
