Summary	"Redefining the way we view business success, Pamela Laird demolishes the popular American self-made story as she reveals the critical common key: access to circles that control and distribute opportunity and information. Who gets invited into the networks of business opportunity? What does an unacceptable candidate lack? The answer is social capital--all those social assets that attract respect, generate confidence, evoke affection, and invite loyalty"--Page 4 of cover.
