Summary/Abstract: Social capital is one of those sociological concepts that did not remain confined exclusively to sociology. Through social capital, economic science widened its' analytical domain and became capable to explain how social structures emerge on the basis of individual optimization, i.e. to explain them by the logic of rational choice. The explanatory scope of the basic neoclassical principles has been considerably widened to incorporate what has previously been considered to be the analytical terrain of other social sciences. This process has been labelled in scientific circles as „colonisation“ of social sciences, or economic „imperialism“.
