Social Capital 

A term used to reduce human interactions to a quantifiable and expendable resource -- so as to facilitate indoctrination into economics and laissez faire/free trade ideology, which is the rot of the world.
1. Steve: "Gee, every time I try and get assistance from my telco, I can never sort out my phone woes"
Clare: "It only matters when social capital is bartered as a resource, it matters little what occurs then after."

2. Peter: "I've been seeing a Psychologist, and to me, he just didn't seem to care..."

Susan: "Why should he. It only matters when social capital is bartered as a resource, it matters little what occurs then after."

3. Craig: "Hey honey, we have a wonderful estate, local and foreign investments, and are miserable; the kids are spoiled, and not the much happier for that. We buy them smart phones and computer games, and what ever else they want, I feel like we're doing something wrong..."

Angela: "Craig, what you need to understand is that that kitsch humbug notion of love must be done away with so as to cultivate professional relationships with our progeny; it isn't fit for them to use any faculty of insight or contemplation lest they awaken any free thinking thoughts. You have always been social capital to me, even though you are my favorite cousin."

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.

Social Capitalism 

Social Capitalism makes reference to a highly collective, planed and centralised economical system whereby although contrast to Socialist economies..The ownership of private wealth and property are not prohibited....The value and worth however of ones labor, produce and property are determined not by the laborer owner of a property Commercial or noncommercial and the producer of goods..But rather these are entirely subject to regulative, predetermined and pre established values, Worth and measures sanctioned or approved by a highly centralised state authority. Social Capitalism, is effectively the middle stage of the transitional process when a Laissez-faire free market economy is transformed in to a Capitalist or Corporate economy.
Social Capitalism, reflects upon the transition of Americas early Laissez-faire free market economy in to a highly centralised planed economy, subject to the regulative and control of a centeralised and powerful state authority.

Social Theory of Mass Dissociation of Late-Stage Capitalism

A sociological framework examining how mass dissociation operates at population scale under late-stage capitalism—the large-scale social processes that enable entire societies to disconnect from systemic reality. This theory investigates how institutions (media, education, government, corporations) work together to produce mass dissociation: news that reports disasters without context; entertainment that provides escape from awareness; advertising that reframes consumption as identity; politics that offers spectacle instead of substance; work that consumes energy needed for reflection. It examines how mass dissociation becomes embedded in everyday life—in the rhythm of days, the structure of spaces, the flow of information, the possibilities for attention. The theory reveals that mass dissociation under late-stage capitalism is not a failure of the system but one of its essential features—a social achievement that requires constant maintenance through countless institutions and practices.
Example: "His social theory of mass dissociation of late-stage capitalism showed how the built environment itself enforces dissociation—windowless shopping malls, highway systems that hide neighborhoods, suburbs designed for isolation. The dissociation isn't just in our heads; it's in our streets."
