Editing Social capital

The '''social capital''' of Consumerium is the [[trust]] people have in it, and those who devote their free time ([[individual capital]]) and reputations to it.  [[Social contract]]s reflect the social capital of a [[state]] or [[society]].  A [[social network]] of people recognizes and redistributes social capital - in the form of helping those in need, e.g. by [[harms reduction]].

It substitutes for [[financial capital]] to the degree that less money is required if trust is high enough to attract volunteers.  It also substitutes for [[instructional capital]] to the degree trust makes complex and sabotage-proof instructions unnecessary.  It can even substitute for [[infrastructural capital]] if equipment is offered to the project by those who trust it.  

''Perhaps we will even get [[natural capital]] (land) if we are trusted enough, and become [[Consumerium Country]].''

''Wikipedia has [http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/social_capital Simple English] and [[w:social capital|Imperial English] articles on this, and also in some other languages.''
