We cannot accept extremists and fools among us. It is harmful to our democracy
Social capital expresses the degree of trust in a society, its ability to interact positively and cooperate with each other on the widest possible scale. It is an essential condition for the functioning of democracy. Where social capital is higher, democracy is also better, more robust and more resilient.
