On our sixth trip into Netland, we will go a level higher in complexity. In Chap. 8, we examined social networks where the elements were usually individual people. In Chap. 9, we saw some of the networks these communities produced. In this chapter, we investigate ‘supersocial’ nets, in which the elements are the social networks of the previous chapter, in the form of firms, investor groups or whole nations. Chapters 8 and 10 together show another nice example of nestedness.
