Reviews
In this important book, Nanetti and Holguin start out by distinguishing between growth and development within territorial communities. They then demonstrate, through careful theoretical analysis and revealing case studies, how nurturing social capital promotes development, defined as the realization of social justice. - Susan S. Fainstein, Senior Research Fellow, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA This is a timely and important volume. In an era of rising social inequalities and climate change, finding an alternative to the growth models inherited from the past may be the most pressing issue of our time. The authors of this volume demonstrate that building social capital is the path forward that best addresses the challenges of the twenty-first century. - Dennis R. Judd, Professor and Interim Head, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Over the last quarter century, research on 'social capital' has exploded. Articles on the topic have risen from one every five years to one every five hours. Nanetti, a pioneer in this field, has now produced with Holguin a masterly, innovative account of social capital in development planning. - Robert D. Putnam, Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy, Harvard University, USA; author of Our Kids
