“social capital”, which describes an important concept. We can readily measure our material worth or “fiscal capital” – property, earnings, savings, shares, pension, etc – but how can we measure our social worth? The human networks we belong to, the interaction, value, and respect we share with family, friends, work colleagues, and neighbours all count towards our “social capital”. For most of us there would seem to be a direct correlation between the breadth and number of social networks we engage with, our place and respect within each network, and our happiness.”
