The Social Capital Gateway

Another great social capital link is the Social Capital Gateway, managed and maintained by Fabio Sabatini. It is an "everything you always wanted to know about social capital, but were afraid to ask" type of site. It contains links to writers who both agree with the notion of social capital, and those who are critical of it (i.e., suggest that it either doesn't provide new information that can't be gleaned in other ways, or suggest that it is so vaguely defined as to be unusable as a social scientific/empirical concept).
