The most important lecture we all need to learn from the literature investigation and research conducted so far on the topic of social capital is how the ways and conditions bonding people to the others imply on to the community welfare, regardless of the fact if they live in rich or poor countries. Numerous findings appeared independently in interdisciplinary social research which correspond to a contemporary perspective in social capital understanding.

This type of social community is not marked by a high corruption level and unnecessary social expenses and issimultaneously very well bonded and self-organised as acontrolling and corrective body of the state government. Social capital structured out of social and institutional trust brings people together for collaboration, association and collective action.
