Summary There is a moral to this book, a bit of Confucian wisdom often ignored in social network analysis: "Worry not that no one knows you, seek to be worth knowing." In this book Burt builds on his celebrated work to examine the cases of analysts, bankers, and managers, and find that rewards, in fact, do go to people with well-connected colleagues.
