The concept of social capital has been widely embraced by
academics, activists and governments. It promises a language to
unite economics and sociology, and a resource that will help
explain poverty, social exclusion and civic distrust. Yet some
suspect a sinister process of colonisation, where the methods and
ideology of market economics are imposed upon the broader social
sciences. This book argues the concept's origins lie within the
rational choice tradition, but makes a distinction between the
methodological and ideological development of the concept. While
social capital theory may present an opportunity for social
theorists to engage with and learn from economists, the development
of the concept also suggests political commitments to individualism
and a suspicion of the state that may cause progressive theorists
to pause for thought. Looking to contemporary Australian politics,
this book argues that these same dynamics help us understand the
evolving debates around the impact of the market on community, from
economic rationalism and community development to the recent Third
Way debate.
