This volume advances our knowledge of continuing trends over the 'longue durée' of European history. It exposes many differences separating contemporaries from their medieval and early modern ancestors. Putting the concept of social capital to the test, it exposes the strengths, weaknesses, and limits of the 'Putnam thesis'.
