Trust in Sicuety

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The problem is that once trust is lost, it is very difficult to get it back. Societies can thus get trapped in a feedback loop of corruption, distrust and inequality. Corruption drives inequality and distrust, whereas distrust drives even deeper inequality. Voters may realize they would benefit from policies that reduce inequality, but their distrust of one another and of their institutions prevents the political system from acting in the way they would prefer."
