Summary
In Chapter 1, we presented abundant data that show that public trust is eroding. But this is demonstrably false – trust among humans has never been higher than it is today. We are just measuring it incorrectly. Those who say that trust has collapsed are looking for trust in the wrong places. That we do not trust the government or the media as much as our parents or their parents did does not mean that the overall level of social trust has fallen. Trust may exist in other places not captured by the survey data.
