I actually read an article about Social Capital in one of my classes. I looked forever trying to find it, but I can explain what the just is about. The post reminded me of the article because it talked about how our generation is trying to be more socially responsible and would want to find jobs within those companies representing social goals. The article goes on to say that most people are interested in buying from companies who seem like 'good' companies. The article was called "'Social Capital'gains traction during upheaval' By Emily Glazer. I'll try to find a link (i'll email my professor) and maybe post it at a later date.
