我们讨论了社会资本的概念，这是最近备受关注。社会资本之所以重要，主要有两个原因：（1）高度民主的政治体制和重视公共利益的强大的经济表现可以在高社会资本的基础上实现;（2）社会资本可以影响人口的健康状况，收入不平等的扩大通过社会资本的侵蚀损害人类健康。此外，社会资本对日本社会的政治意义有三个方面：（1）社会资本与社会间接资本的概念一起，对日本社会应该采取“中等负担、中等福利”还是“低负担、低福利”模式的政治决策有意义;（2）互惠性是社会资本的主要组成部分，与日本医疗保健制度的基本理念相似;（3）日本社会需要从强调成员之间关系的社会转变为向外界开放并拥有充分机会的社会。
We discuss the concept of social capital, which has received much attention recently. Social capital is important for the following 2 key reasons:(1) a highly democratic polity and a strong economic performance that attaches great importance to the public good can be achieved on the basis of high social capital;and (2) social capital can effect health status in the human population, and widening of income inequality harms human health through the erosion of social capital. In addition, there are 3 political implications of social capital for Japanese society:(1) social capital has implications for the political decision of whether Japanese society should adopt a "medium burden for medium welfare" or a "low burden for small welfare" model together with the concept of social overhead capital;(2) reciprocity, which is one of the primary components of social capital, is similar to the philosophy underlying the health care system of Japan;(3) Japanese society needs to change from a society that emphasizes the relationships between its members to a society that is open to outsiders and has sufficient opportunities.
