The rise of mistrust is provoking a crisis for representative democracy â Zuckerman explores solutions lie in the endless creativity of social movements.
What The Reviewers Say
In his new book, Mistrust, Ethan Zuckerman takes us on a kaleidoscopic tour of everyone from Gandhi to Bitcoin enthusiasts, Brexit voters to Black Lives Matter activists — people and groups whom he calls 'insurrectionists' because they are trying to overthrow or work around what has been a worldwide decline in social trust.
An overview of the causes of our mistrust in the institutions we once held sacred.
MIT Media Lab scholar Zuckerman examines high levels of mistrust in social institutions across the Western world in this passionate yet somewhat meandering account.
