Adam Bartoszek, Ph.D., Associate Professor at the University of Silesia in Katowice I like this book a lot and believe it is an important contribution. Quality of life is a chief concern for individuals, communities, and nations. This concise book explains how and why social capital drives the quality of life. It is a resource for social scientists who want to understand the link between social capital and the quality of life, and a call to action to practitioners and governments who aim to enhance the quality of life.
