Michael,

This quote from Senior looks like it might fit. But whose concept of "social capital" does it resemble if any, Bourdieu's or Loury-Coleman-Putnam's?

Also, I note that this is still not a use of the term "social capital" even if it is getting at the concept maybe. Barkley Rosser On Thu, 28 Jan 1999 15:43:40 -0800 Michael Perelman <michael at ecst.csuchico.edu> wrote:
