Social Network theory is interesting but suffers from a major chicken and egg problem. That is, am I powerful because I am in the middle of my social network or is it my inherent power that got me there? How do we separate those effects? For those of you who are interested but want a formal treatment, read Matt Jackson's graph theoretic approach to this work in Economics. For people with better things to do, just read it and don't think to much about it.
