Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the genesis of the social capital concept and its evolution through the twentieth century. From a bibliographical research, this study investigates some authors and works that over time presented conceptions about what is social capital. For the development of this research, we started with the proposition that the concept had certain notoriety in the 1990s and then went through a debasement. The results suggest that social capital is a concept that cannot be simplified because, in addition to expressing some form of civil society organization, was also the subject of appreciation by authors from diverse theoretical perspectives. The most recent studies on the subject seem to indicate criticism to the theory of social capital by Robert Putnam in that there is a reconsideration of the role of the state in promoting associativism.
