The Impact of Trust on Institutions

The podcast highlights a growing mistrust in major institutions, driven by political polarization and class divides. According to the Edelman Trust Barometer, which recently revealed that 61% of people harbor grievances against government, business, and the wealthy, this decline in trust poses serious implications for societal stability. For example, a significant portion of German citizens reported feeling highly aggrieved, relating this dissatisfaction to economic factors like inflation and job security. As leaders in the business sector react to these trends, they are urged to focus on creating jobs and affordable products to regain public confidence.
