"Contro" il capitale sociale

Questa sezione raccoglie contributi critici sull'utilità del concetto di capitale sociale per la ricerca nelle scienze sociali. Buona parte degli studi considerati proviene dal campo dell'economia, e riguarda in particolare i problemi di misurazione e i limiti della ricerca empirica, l'opportunità di considerare il capitale sociale come una forma di capitale produttivo - al pari di capitale fisico e capitale umano - e il ruolo del capitale sociale nell'attività di ricerca della Banca Mondiale.
