5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely fine book, September 8, 2008
By 
This review is from: Social Capital (Paperback)
When I picked up this book by chance in the library, I was unprepared for the quality of its fine writing and great breadth of integration. David Halpern has written a masterpiece of social science. Both interesting and profound, the book covers an enormous range of topics, relating all of them to social capital. I felt as if a new land had opened up and welcomed me in. One of the ten best books I have read. Highly recommended. Ron Westrum

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Overall Introduction to Social Capital on the Market, June 27, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Social Capital (Paperback)
This was by far the most comprehensive and accessible introduction to social capital that I have ever read, and I received my graduate degree working on this topic so I've read a few of these. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Social Capital, and would even recommend reading this volume before attempting Putnam's classic "Bowling Alone". As Putnam himself is quoted on the back cover, this is the book he wishes he had written.
