Looking at economic issues from the perspective of trust is surprisingly revealing.
Recommendation
While you might think the subject of trust more apt for a book about law or sociology, professor Benjamin Ho proves that looking at economic issues through the perspective of trust is both informative and thought-provoking. Much of economic study tends to focus on theoretical efficiency, but Ho’s emphasis on trust, in contrast, offers a more rounded, real-world view. His commentary is illuminating and useful for anyone concerned about the destructive levels of mistrust so prevalent in contemporary society.
