Readers and Life Changing Ideas
Social Capital teaches readers how to build social capital in their own lives, relationships, networks and communities. Taking a higher-level view, the magazine also shows readers why building social capital is important and what social and personal benefits come from strengthened networks. Social Capital readers find that building valued networks, relationships and communities is far more than a personal agenda: it is an agent for significant change and a driver of social improvement. It is this social purpose that guides the magazine’s content and readers’ lives.
Social capital is something everyone has. It is the rapport that proceeds you in each of your relationships. It is the value that those relationships build toward creating a cohesive, positive community. It is the epitome of the statement “the sum is greater than its parts.”
