Summary/Abstract: The concept of capital is one of the most noticeable and at the same time the mostunclear concepts organizing not only the field of social sciences, but also the public debatein Poland and in the world. The article analyses two ways of conceptualization of the capitalrooted in political and neoclassical economy together with their sociological modifications.The aim of this short reconstruction is to present a complex relation between the economiccapital and the social capital treated as moral capital. This ambiguity induces us to aska question about the significance of shifting this concept from the field of economic analysesto the centre of sociological theories in the context of crisis and transformations of latecapitalism.
