State
Social capital is a network of relationships, connections, and knowledge that also shapes who advances economically, beyond the Soc 0828 meritocratic ideal.
Show
A homebuyer's mortgage application moves faster than a neighbor's identical application because a personal connection at the bank flags it for early review.
Watch for
Social capital supplements the Soc 0828 meritocratic ideal rather than replacing it; both shape who advances.
