I.V. Social Capital or Social Asset?
In the paper different approaches to the concept of
social
capital and its limits are discussed. Special attention is devoted to
positive
and negative effects of social capital, the sources of its formation
and the
role of state in this process. Conditions under which accumulation of
social
capital contributes to innovative behavior and competitiveness are
considered.
It is argued that in Russia the problem lies not in the lack of social
capital
but in its biased structure and allocation.
