Institutions: Mitigating Mistrust

Philip Keefer and Carlos Scartascini

Chapter 7 in Trust: The Key to Social Cohesion and Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2022, pp 169-194 from Inter-American Development Bank

Abstract: Institutions are the bedrock of social organization, minimizing the consequences of mistrust even in high-trust societies. They permit economic exchange when trust is low and allow citizens to act collectively when otherwise they could not. They are essential to inclusive growth.
