This book presents a contrary view. Drawing on various datasets, it reveals a disconnect between the popular commentary and the empirical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Trust Gap suggests that the most extreme cases -- such as the US and the UK -- distort our thinking about trust. It looks beyond trust in government to examine trust in a range of institutions, including courts, universities and the media. In doing so, it suggests that while countries such as the US do face a crisis of trust, many established democracies demonstrate resilience rather than vulnerability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Using the framework of trust gaps, this book offers a stocktake on the state of trust in the 21st century, contributing a more nuanced and hopeful account than the headlines suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529255597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529255591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Aaron Martin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659454755071,"sku":"9781529255591","price":127.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7556506-839c-444b-ad89-47f9d49e6973.jpg?v=1781201345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trust-gap-aaron-martin-9781529255591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
