Abstract

The previous chapters in this book highlight the many ways in which concrete organizational practices that aim at creating, capitalizing on, and manipulating trust, rely on, but often also undermine, stretch, and cross, different types of boundaries in society. If, however, we lift our gaze above and beyond the immediate landscape of the organizations that form the basis of our societies, we are confronted with the more fundamental question: What makes people trust one another in the first place, and what is the reason the degree of basic trust toward other people and toward societal institutions varies strongly between different societies? What historical and institutional factors tend to determine the quality and intensity of mutual trust within a society?
