Social Capital

Social capital is the goodwill generated by people's ability to work together for common purposes. It has the potential to be a catalyst for action, empowerment and inspiration. It can influence peoples' capacity to thrive, and is a powerful factor in determining career and life success. Social capital cannot be held by an individual, as its very existence is stimulated by human interaction.

The effects of social capital flow from the information, influence, and solidarity that such goodwill generates.

It can also be used to describe the personal relationships within a company, that help build a culture of trust and respect among employees, leading to enhanced company performance and wellbeing.
Jenny didn't say, "I'll do this for you because you are more powerful than me". Nor did she say "I'll do x for you now, if you do y for me now".
Jenny built her social capital by saying, "I'll do this for you now, knowing that somewhere down the road, you will do something for me"

Capitalism

Is an ideological term for the upward transfer of wealth from the producer class who generates the product or GDP (gross domestic product) for the owner class, presumed to be those worthy of controlling the establishment. Was defined concisely in Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations as "everything for us and nothing for anyone else"
Many espouse capitalism as ideology of highest importance while not being able to define it precisely or explain it to a five year old decently.

Capital numbers

A capital number= A number at the beginning of a series of numbers, example 57885557 the 5 would be the capital number. Only 1 through 9 may be capital numbers, except for proper numbers (0, 11, 12 ). Proper numbers are capital numbers as well (except at the beginning of a series of numbers) Example 115663 a 1 is the capital number not 11.
You dot your capital numbers or proper numbers, decimals are also capitals and should be dotted. Dot on the top for reading right to left, on the bottom for reading left to right. Capital numbers are also the hours on a clock, they are capitals because they represent more than one number, for example 1am is also 1pm. Always leave a decimal beside solitary capital numbers, always dot your decimals and always check your time.
I always capitalize my capital numbers and leave a decimal behind solitary ones.
