[ Social Capital ]

The NPR podcast “Planet Money” recently explored how our social circle is one of the strongest predictors of economic mobility, as well as also touching on the concept of social capital. 

Social capital is defined as the “networks of relationships among people who live and work nearby, enabling a society to function effectively.  It allows us to leverage social connections in order to solve problems, improve well-being, pursue shared objectives, and take collective action. “

I think we’re now out there again, building it up and striving to make society a better place.

I like social capital.  Bring it on.
