metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the conceptualization of social capital as a public good. It is shown that main
  attempts in this area are based on some methodological premises such as “economization” of social
  and political motives. Capitalist subject defined by some authors as someone who included to active
  investments in different forms of community (for example through involvement in politics) while in
  real capitalism some declining of civic cohesion observed. It is concluded that the reason of this vulnerability
  is in a distortion of the original meaning of term “capital” by sociologists and political scientists.
  This distortion led to the inclusion in the researchers view some phenomena are actually rental
  benefits. The author conducted a consistent conceptualization of social capital. To the author’s point of
  view, social capital is a set of dues, social norms or images and ideas formed in the minds of individuals,
  in which self-interested rational agents invest material goods. The novelty of this definition is that
  social capital is presented as a result of activity of homo oeconomicus. It helps to distinguish social
  capital from other phenomena related to altruistic and emotional subjectivity of actors. For a description
  of a number of positive economic effects the author proposes the term “social rent”. The author
  substantiates the thesis that social rent is determined by the benefits of social environment regardless
  of individual’s labor and investments. Refs 24.
