Book excerpt: Researchers, policy-makers, and students who study grassroots movements will welcome this blueprint for integrating social capital theories into their models. Showing that a public policy that increases social capital is the holy grail of modern governments, this manual explains what social capital is, how it is measured, and how to increase its presence. Using a set of parameters, the guide goes on to show ways that public projects can maximize cooperation and provide real benefits for both the organizers and the general citizenry.
