Trust, Social Cohesion, and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean

Philip Keefer and Carlos Scartascini

Chapter 1 in Trust: The Key to Social Cohesion and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022, pp 1-26 from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: Mistrust in the region is high, increasing, and permeating all corners of society. It undermines productive relationships between and within firms, it erodes citizenship, and limits citizens’ ability to undertake collective action in support of the laws and institutions that promote sustainable development.
