Description
Trust in Modern Societies: The Search for the Bases of Social Order by Barbara Misztal This book explores one of the most pressing issues facing modern societies - social cohesion. It examines how trust has been viewed as a key factor in creating solidarity, and how this perspective has evolved over time. The author argues that changes in contemporary societies are making it both more urgent and more difficult to build trust. The book provides a comprehensive overview of past and present theories about the role of trust in social order, with a strong comparative emphasis on Western democracies and Eastern and Central European societies. It offers valuable insights into the challenges of generating a social order based on trust, and is an essential read for those studying social theory, political theory, and political sociology. By examining the complexities of trust in modern societies, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the issues at hand, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the dynamics of contemporary society.
