Trust, Social Capital And The Scandinavian Welfa - Explaining The Flight Of The Bumblebee

Applying Bourdieuconomics, the authors focus on contemporary case studies to explain how social capital and trust are used to counteract free-riding and enable the flight of the Scandinavian welfare state `bumblebee'. Key to the topic is the authors' discussion of free-riders versus `hard-riders' as well as civic engagement in the welfare state.
