The Sources of Social Capital

Abstract

H ave the citizens of Western democracies lost their trust in each other? If so, what are the sources of this unfortunate development and what are the consequences? Why can citizens in some regions or villages join together and solve their collective action problems while others cannot? These questions have been prompted in large part by the growing conviction that the answers are crucial both to political stability and to economic development. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
