Trust will be our essential tool as we face unique challenges of the decades ahead.
'The most interesting political mind since Barack Obama' Guardian
In a century warped by terrorism, Trumpism, financial collapse, populism, systemic racism, Russian interference and a global pandemic, trust within and among nations has been squandered, sacrificed, abused, stolen, or never properly built in the first place.
In a piercing exploration of the soul of the American nation involving history, philosophy and memoir, former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg explores the strong relationship between prosperity and social trust. Our success, or failure, in confronting the greatest challenges of the decade - racial and economic justice, pandemic resilience, and climate action - will rest on whether we can effectively cultivate, deepen and repair the networks of trust that are now endangered, or for so many, have never even existed. This means trust in institutions, in each other, and in the democratic project itself.
Kundenrezensionen
Some good stuff, but very short
This was written too quickly. It‘s 4 chapters long, 3 of which are largely spent describing the (real) problem. It‘s padded out with an enormous excerpt from a Pew Report as an appendix. I feel I paid too much for this. His autobiography is a much better read.
