Evolution of Collective Action Mechanism:from Individual Rationality to Social Capital

78-82.
With the development of social division,the interdependence between group members is becoming stronger,which makes it necessary for people to achieve common interest through collective choice.In the eyes of the theory of collective action,common interest is not sufficient condition for voluntary cooperation,and the free-riding will lead to voluntary failure.From the view of the theory of social capital,the decision-making of group members is not an economic process of calculation between cost and benefit,but a social process which is affected by non-economic incentive.The trust resulting from interactions can check the motive of free-riding,creating favorable condition for collective action.
