About this book

Social capital refers to the institutions and networks of relationships between people, together with the attitudes, norms and values that hold them together. Christiaan Grootaert and Thierry Van Bastelaer ask whether these features of social life actually matter for economic development.

The book draws on a large body of newly collected data from ten countries. It is presented as the first work to test rigorously the link between social capital and economic development, and it documents how social capital helps to speed up poverty reduction and rural growth.

Development economists, researchers in institutional economics and policy analysts who design poverty programmes will find the empirical evidence most useful.
