The term ‘social capital’ is a way of defining the intangible resources of community, shared values and trust upon which we draw in daily life. It has achieved considerable international currency across the social sciences through the very different work of Pierre Bourdieu in France and James Coleman and Robert Putnam in the United States, and has been widely taken up within politics and sociology as an explanation for the decline in social cohesion and community values in western societies. It has also been adopted by policy makers, particularly in international governmental bodies such as the World Bank.
This fully revised second edition of Social Capital provides a thorough overview of the intense and fast-moving debate surrounding this subject. This clear and comprehensive introduction explains the theoretical underpinning of the subject, the empirical work that has been done to explore its operation, and the influence that it has had on public policy and practice. It includes guides to further reading and a list of the most important websites.

'Open-minded, intellectually curious, and eminently balanced and lively in its approach, John Field's Social Capital (second edition) provides an astute contribution to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the importance of social relationships...Field provides a thorough and finely-nuanced discussion of the complexities of this proposition, and in the process of doing so has accomplished an evenhanded, engaging assessment of a relevant and complex topic.' – Teaching Sociology, 2009
