Trust

Om bogen

In Trust, political scientist Gert Tinggaard Svendsen explores how to cultivate trust and why it’s important for maintaining a happy, stable, and economically sound society. Higher levels of trust often translate to more cooperation and social responsibility, advantages in economic growth and social stability, and happier workplaces. Without trust, societies become more corrupt, and legal systems cannot guarantee justice. Tinggard Svendsen's research emphasizes that if we want to build trust, we must minimize control. The fewer resources we expend on surveillance and monitoring, the more resources we can use to improve competition, advance research, and nurture innovation.

In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting discoveries and new perspectives.

Gert Tinggaard Svendsen is a professor in the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University.
