Abstract: We develop an evolutionary model of growth in which agents choose 
	how to allocate their time between private and social activities. 
	We argue that a shift from social to private activities may foster 
	market-based growth, but also generate social poverty. Within a 
	formal framework that merges a game theoretic analysis of the 
	evolution of social participation with a model of dynamic 
	accumulation of its effects on social environment (i.e., of social 
	capital accumulation), we show that growth and well-being may 
	evolve in opposite directions (a plausible outcome for advanced 
	and affluent societies).
