Public Trust Decline

Public Trust Decline examines the widespread erosion of confidence in institutions like government and media, a crucial issue as societal health depends on trust. The book uniquely offers a comparative analysis across different countries, revealing that declining public trust isn't a singular issue but a complex mix of perceived corruption, lack of transparency, and a disconnect between citizens and those in power. Intriguingly, the rise of social media and economic inequality significantly contribute to this decline, fueling political polarization and hindering effective governance.

The book adopts an analytical and objective approach, drawing from diverse sources like public opinion surveys and case studies. Initially, it establishes a historical context, then analyzes survey data to compare trends across various institutions. Subsequent chapters explore specific factors like the role of media, political polarization, and economic inequality.

The final chapters propose actionable solutions, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership to restore faith in institutions, aiming to inform policymakers, journalists, and engaged citizens.
