Deep dives
Declining Trust in Institutions
Trust in various institutions among Americans has significantly declined over recent decades. In the 1970s, trust levels in public schools, newspapers, and banks were around 70%, but now they have plummeted to about 30%. This trend is evident not only in the United States but also across Western democracies, suggesting a broader crisis in societal trust. The erosion of trust indicates a demand for change in these legacy systems that people have begun to view as ineffective or corrupt.
