The '''[[w:social capital|social capital]]''' of Consumerium is the trust people have in it, and those who devote their free time ([[individual capital]]) and reputations to it. 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 the [[Nation of Consumerium]].''
