Abstract
This paper studies the importance of income inequality for the formation of social capital. Using panel data pattern, data from 16 developing countries within 2000-2008 is used with the main aim to investigate the interactions between social capital and income inequality. The results show that increase in income inequality in society causes a decrease in interpersonal cooperation and trust, thus leading to the decrease in social capital of society.
