In this book, economics meets sociology in order to investigate one of the central social changes in history: the decline of fertility. The book demonstrates how social interactions can be used to extend the rational and individual-centered approach of economists to include social norms, bounded rationality, social learning, and changing values and attitudes. The combination of these elements yields new insights into the dynamics and determinants of fertility change.

In Social Capital, Nan Lin explains the importance of using social connections and social relations in achieving goals. Social capital, or resources accessed through such connections and relations, is critical (along with human capital, or what a person or organization actually possesses) to individuals, social groups, organizations, and communities in obtaining their objectives. This book places social capital in the family of capital theories (the classical and neo-capital theories), articulates its elements and propositions, presents research programs, findings, and agenda, and theorizes its significance in various moments of interactions between individual actions and social structure (for example, the primordial groups, social exchanges, organizations, institutional transformations and cybernetworks). Nan Lin eloquently introduces a groundbreaking theory that forcefully argues and shows why it is 'who you know', as well as 'what you know' that makes a difference in life and society.
