Loury cited with approval the sociological literature on intergenerational
mobility and inheritance of race as illustrating his anti-individualist argument.
However, he did not go on to develop the concept of social capital in any detail.
He seems to have run across the idea in the context of his polemic against orthodox
labor economics, but he mentions it only once in his original article and
then in rather tentative terms (Loury 1977). The concept captured the differential
access to opportunities through social connections for minority and nonminority
youth, but we do not find here any systematic treatment of its relations
to other forms of capital.
Lourys work paved the way, however, for Colemans more refined analysis
of the same process, namely the role of social capital in the creation of human
capital. In his initial analysis of the concept, Coleman acknowledges
Lourys contribution as well as those of economist Ben-Porath and sociologists
Nan Lin and Mark Granovetter. Curiously, Coleman does not mention
Bourdieu, although his analysis of the possible uses of social capital for the acquisition
of educational credentials closely parallels that pioneered by the
French sociologist.1 Coleman defined social capital by its function as a variety
of entities with two elements in common: They all consist of some aspect
of social structures, and they facilitate certain action of actorswhether persons
or corporate actorswithin the structure (Coleman 1988a: p. S98, 1990,
p. 302).
