在本書中，作者林南說明社會連結與社會關係的使用在達成目標上的重要性。社會資本，或說經由社會連結與社會關係所取得的資源，(除了人力資本，或是個人與社會組織實際持有的資源以外)對於個人、社會團體、組織與社群的目標達成足極為重要的。 本書將社會資本視為資本理論家族(古典與新古典理論)的一員，說明它的元素與命題，呈現研究的計畫、發現與議題，並且理論化它在個人行動與社會結構之間的不同互動時刻的重要性 (

In Social Capital, Nan Lin explains the importance of using social connections and social relations in achieving goals. Social capital, or resources accessed through such connections and relations, is critical (along with human capital, or what a person or organization actually possesses) to individuals, social groups, organizations, and communities in obtaining their objectives. This book places social capital in the family of capital theories (the classical and neo-capital theories), articulates its elements and propositions, presents research programs, findings, and agenda, and theorizes its significance in various moments of interactions between individual actions and social structure (for example, the primordial groups, social exchanges, organizations, institutional transformations and cybernetworks). Nan Lin eloquently introduces a groundbreaking theory that forcefully argues and shows why it is 'who you know', as well as 'what you know' that makes a difference in life and societ
