Introduction -- From rational choice to McDonaldisation -- The short history of social capital -- The BBI syndrome -- Social capital versus social history -- Social capital is dead : long live whatever comes next -- Management studies goes to McDonald's -- Degradation without limit -- W(h)ither social capital?
"Fine forcibly demonstrates how social capital has expanded across the social sciences only by degrading the different disciplines and topics that it touches: a McDonaldization of social theory. The rise and fall of social capital at the World Bank is critically explained as is social capital's growing presence in disciplines, such as management studies, and its relative absence in others, such as social history. Writing with a sharp critical edge, Fine not only deconstructs the roller-coaster presence of social capital across the social sciences but also draws out lessons on how (and how not) to do research."--Pub. desc
