With this book, Dr. Singh provides a clear, cogent review of the current state of the field and how researchers and policy makers can leverage social capital for deep, positive social change. The scholarship is thorough and insightful, tracing the roots of the idea and linking it with modern digital developments and applications across multiple policy domains.
