Social capital

Topics

Por capital social se entiende el conjunto de normas, instituciones y organizaciones que promueven la confianza y la cooperación entre las personas, en las comunidades y en la sociedad en su conjunto. En aquellas formulaciones del paradigma del capital social (y del neoinstitucionalismo económico en que éstas se basan en parte); que se concentran en sus manifestaciones colectivas, se plantea que las relaciones estables de confianza y cooperación pueden reducir los costos de transacción, producir bienes públicos y facilitar la constitución de actores sociales o incluso de sociedades civiles saludables
