Socioeconomic Sustainability Through Moral and Social Capital | Dr. Omar Javaid (Book Explained)

This video offers a comprehensive scholarly overview of Dr, Omar Javaid’s book Socioeconomic Sustainability Through Moral and Social Capital: A Tale of Three Enterprising Communities. The discussion critically examines dominant market-centric models of development and advances an alternative framework in which socioeconomic sustainability is understood as socially embedded and normatively constituted, rather than driven solely by economic efficiency. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from economic sociology and social theory, the book analyses how moral capital—shared ethical norms, trust, and reciprocal obligations—and social capital—networks, kinship ties, and institutional embeddedness—operate as foundational resources for sustainable community development. Through comparative analysis of three enterprising communities, Dr, Javaid demonstrates how these forms of capital mitigate social fragmentation, reinforce collective agency, and support long-term economic resilience. Key themes explored in this video include: Structural sources of socioeconomic instability in contemporary capitalism Conceptual distinctions between economic, social, and moral capital Community entrepreneurship as a mechanism of sustainability and social cohesion The role of family firms, trust-based coordination, and normative regulation Implications for inclusive development and sustainability-oriented policy By foregrounding moral and relational dimensions of economic life, the book contributes to scholarly debates in economic sociology, development studies, sustainability research, and organizational analysis. This video is intended for researchers, graduate students, policymakers, and practitioners seeking theoretically informed and empirically grounded approaches to sustainable socioeconomic development. Recommended for viewers interested in Socio economic sustainability, social and moral capital, community development, family business studies, critiques of neoliberalism, and alternative development paradigms.
