ABSTRACT
The entire weight of the model of social capital bears down on one-dimensional views of trends. Whatever credence one assigns to the empirical evidence supporting each model arrow, there is little serious question that the four types of social capital are interconnected. This fact makes it problematical to do an accounting of, say, voluntary association while pretending that work, family and social networks do not figure into the account. Not only is the data indisputable that they do figure in, but they have also changed significantly over this accounting period.
