Abstract: World Bank loans influence the environment for social capital formation. They may have positive or negative effects. This paper reviews experience in rural Mexico, concluding that in many cases the Bank appears to be contributing to the dismantling of social capital rather than to its construction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
