ABSTRACT
Three other forms of social capital are kin, geographic and masculine trust. The first part of the chapter examines kinship trust, the loyalties that exist between family members, and is split into three sections. The first few pages seek to determine whether this form of social capital rose or fell during the period under study and attempts to determine its significance. This is followed by discussions on the importance of family trust reputations, the impact families had on community trust, in particular through the socialisation of moral social norms, and the benefits of and the changing nature of the trust generated within marriages. The chapter then looks at two other types of social capital – geographic trust, the loyalties that existed within towns, regions and countries, and masculine trust, the ties that bound men together – and traces how both were transformed by economic and social developments.
