The necessity of trust -- The loss of trust -- Trust for a deciding decade -- Rebuilding trust.
In a century warped by terrorism, financial collapse, Trumpist populism, systemic racism, and now a global pandemic, trust has been squandered, sacrificed, abused, stolen, or never properly built in the first place. More than ever before, Americans must work side by side to reckon with the monumental challenges posed by our present moment. Buttigieg explores the strong relationship between measures of prosperity and levels of social trust. He provides an account of a threefold crisis of trust: in our institutions, in each other, and in the American project itself.
