This book presents a contrary view. Drawing on various datasets, it reveals a disconnect between the popular commentary and the empirical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trust Gap suggests that the most extreme cases — such as the US and the UK — distort our thinking about trust. It looks beyond trust in government to examine trust in a range of institutions, including courts, universities and the media. In doing so, it suggests that while countries such as the US do face a crisis of trust, many established democracies demonstrate resilience rather than vulnerability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing the framework of trust gaps, this book offers a stocktake on the state of trust in the 21st century, contributing a more nuanced and hopeful account than the headlines suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484188156277,"sku":"9781529255591","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-trust-gap","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
