Trust

This short book is intended as a contribution to the growing discussion about the precious, and elusive, qualities of life. It is not a survey of the literature in the academic sense, nor a pocket text book,nor even a primer, but an essay that responds to a rich array of knowledge and ideas. It starts with individuals and moves on to nations. The book then end with re?ections on the place of trust in a world that is in constant ?ux, spinning ever faster, compulsively initiating, revising, rearranging, and discarding its relationships.
