Social Capital. Trust and Ideology

Author

Listed:
  • TITTENBRUN Jacek

Abstract

The paper offers a critical analysis of the central concept around which the popular construct of social capital is organised, i.e. trust. To this end the views of Fukuyama, the leading exponent of the said concept are considered. As a result, the concept in question is found to be ideologically charged and substantively weak in many respects.
