Moral Foundations of Trust

Discover the profound insights of Eric M. Uslaner in his thought-provoking book, Moral Foundations of Trust, published by Cambridge University Press in 2002. Spanning 314 pages, this hardback edition delves into the critical role of trust in society and its impact on resource distribution and government effectiveness.

Uslaner meticulously analyzes data to uncover the reasons behind the alarming decline of trust in the United States over the past three decades. He argues that trusting societies are more likely to promote equity by redistributing resources from the affluent to those in need, ultimately fostering a more effective governance structure.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the moral and ethical aspects of trust, as well as its implications in political science, sociology, and psychology. Join Uslaner on this enlightening journey to understand the foundations of trust and its vital importance in our social fabric.
