The notion of capital has enjoyed a rich career in the social
sciences, its use across a range of subjects and in diverse
academic and professional contexts having served to establish its
conceptual status as 'given'. With particular attention to human
and social capital - including cultural capital - this book traces
the roots of this theoretical and conceptual trend to economics,
revealing the proliferation of various forms of capital to be based
upon an encroachment of the conceptual apparatus of economics into
other social sciences. Offering an in-depth, critical analysis of
the concepts of human and social capital, as well as their
surrounding theories, Anti-Capital: Human, Social and Cultural
proposes an alternative theoretical framework, whilst better
explaining the realities that they mask in economic terms. A
rigorous exploration of the most popular forms of 'capital' in the
contemporary social sciences, this book will be of interest to
scholars and students of sociology, political and social theory,
demography and economics.
