In our paper we have made an attempt to make a literature review of social capital concepts and theories. We have chosen 25 most citated social capital related literature. First, we have looked through definitions of social capital; have covered existing approaches. Then, we focused in dimensions and drivers of social capital. We defined private and public benefits and costs of social capital. Also we found from review the high importance of trust and norms in social relations.
