Trust in Public Life, Paperback / softback Book

Trust in Public Life Paperback / softback

Part of the Haus Curiosities series

Paperback / softback

Description

A deep and thoughtful reflection on trust in the context of public life. Trust in Public Life is a collection of essays addressing the importance of trust in public life and how public servants can engender and sustain it.

In "The Roots of Trust," Anna Rowlands argues that our loss of trust is a feature of modernity that can only be solved through encounters with real people.

In "Trust in Oneself," Claire Gilbert makes the case that leaders need to have self-trust and confidence to rule.

In "Trust in Institutions," Anthony Ball offers a guide to rebuilding trust in institutions through four virtues: honesty, humility, compassion, and competence.

Finally, in "Trust in People," James Hawkey argues that trust between groups is a choice, not something that can be injected like a vaccine.

Together, the essays offer valuable reflections on trust in public life, agreeing that it must be engendered, and offer guidance on how this might be achieved.
