Unanticipated Gains - Small, Mario Luis (Associate Professor of Sociology, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Chicago)

While social capital theorists have studied the consequences of having effective social networks, few have examined why some people have better networks than others. This book argues that the answer lies less in people's deliberate "networking" than in the institutional conditions of the churches, colleges, firms, gyms, and other organizations in which they routinely participate.
