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"

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.
