It is a hard concept to explain precisely and to quantify, but the idea of differing levels of social
capital helps explain why, for example, French entrepreneurs (not to mention Indian, Chinese, Mexican and Nigerian) are more likely to create
successful tech startups in the US or the UK than at home, or why it is easier to start a
business in Sidney than in Beijing, or why technological innovation is not evenly spread out among countries, even among countries at similar development levels, but rather tends to cluster in a few areas in a few countries where tech entrepreneurs seem to believe that their work is
made easier and the rewards greater.
