In this piece, I argue that we should create a Social Capital Hub that acts as a semi-structural approach to supporting low-income households and vulnerable groups during both shocks and normal times.
To protect its vulnerable citizens, Cambodia should develop an informal social capital hub as the first step to creating a formal safety net, writes Kosal Nith. https://t.co/Td7WDB5lGA

Karl Marx and Adam Smith, despite their differences, approached economics in a similar way — they both understood that economics is not a value-neutral science. According to Marx and Smith, to be an economist is also to be a philosopher.
