Navigating a Sea of Mistrust

Chapter 10 in Trust: The Key to Social Cohesion and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022, pp 255-286 from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: The reform agenda to build trust and citizenship requires a focus on power and information asymmetries. These erode incentives for trustworthy, civic behavior. Advancing on this reform agenda will dramatically expand government options to meet the significant social and economic challenges of the region: slow growth, high unemployment, inequality, climate change, and fiscal crisis.
