Description

This Routledge Studies in Contemporary Political Economy book challenges the mainstream economic approach to social capital by questioning whether social factors like health care and education can truly be quantified using traditional mathematical methods. Ben Fine presents a critical assessment of how social capital theory has influenced social sciences, arguing that reducing complex social considerations to numerical units oversimplifies their inherent nature. The work offers essential reading for scholars and students seeking to understand the tensions between economic quantification and genuine social analysis at the turn of the millennium, providing a rigorous critique of attempts to measure social phenomena using the algebra and statistics of conventional economic theory.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Political Economy series, providing scholarly context for contemporary debates.
