| Every day across the country, Americans live and work in a world bound by social networks that imbue society with the norms, trust, and reciprocity necessary for voluntary communal cooperation. Political scientists and sociologists often theorize about this “social capital,” which refers to value generated by human relationships. While we often associate tangible forms of wealth—i.e., money and assets—with the term “capital,” equally important to Americans’ overall quality of life is the value inherent in human connection and the building of social networks.
In the world of American philanthropy liberals and conservatives jockey over a pervasive divide in social capital. This divide looks like distinctly separate visions of what is in the public’s best interest. Philanthropic institutions, more than other private entities, rely on social capital because it provides the voluntary social networks necessary to further non-profit activities. At the center of the social capital divide are left-leaning philanthropic institutions that move in lockstep with the political Left to gain the upper hand. They leverage the power of human social networks to interfere with the charitable marketplace by shaming and silencing opposing perspectives.
