The concepts of social networks, social capital and trust have become indispensable conceptual tools for the analysis of post-industrial/late-modern societies. This is the first book to study the interrelationships between these important concepts both theoretically and empirically. Drawing on empirical investigations from a range of diverse European social contexts, the contributors develop an economic sociology that builds on and extends established theoretical perspectives.
