"Social trust" as a book category covers the study and exploration of how trust operates within and between societies—between people, communities, institutions, and economies. Works in this category examine the psychological, cultural, political and economic foundations of trust; how it is measured and how it rises or erodes; the role of social capital, norms, and networks; and the consequences of trust or distrust for governance, markets, public health, and civic life. Books may be empirical or theoretical, historical or contemporary, and often blend sociology, political science, psychology, and economics to explain phenomena such as institutional legitimacy, polarization, corruption, collective action, and the spread of misinformation. Practical titles offer strategies for rebuilding trust through policy, design, community practice, or leadership, while others provide comparative or case-study perspectives across countries, eras, or technologies. Overall, the category draws readers interested in understanding the invisible glue that enables cooperation and the conditions that sustain or undermine it.
