Abstract

One of the key variables in the social capital discussions is generalized trust.1 To save words, the average generalized trust for a country is termed: G-trust. Table 12.1 gives the formulation and the aggregate of all answers in the World Values Survey,2 which cover 188 pools in 83 countries during the last two decades of the twentieth century. Almost 30 per cent of the 255,399 answers say that ‘most people can be trusted’. The individual country G-trusts are listed in the Appendix.
