Description

Explore the complex relationship between economic theory and social science in this academic work from Routledge. In Social Capital Versus Social Theory, Ben Fine examines the attempt to bring social considerations into mainstream economic thinking through quantification. While proponents of social capital suggest that social factors can be measured using the same algebra and statistics used for machinery or transport, Fine presents a different perspective. He argues that social concerns cannot be accurately judged through purely mathematical methods and that attempting to do so results in an overly simplistic view of society. This book provides a detailed assessment of how social capital impacts various social sciences at the turn of the millennium. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in political economy and the limitations of applying mainstream economic models to human social structures.
