Who Can You Trust? by Rachel Botsman

Nominated for the Business Book Awards 'Embracing Change' category Financial Times Book of the Month ----- If you can't trust those in charge, who can you trust? From government to business, banks to media, trust in institutions is at an all-time low. But this isn't the age of distrust -- far from it. In this revolutionary book, world-renowned trust expert Rachel Botsman reveals that we are at the tipping point of one of the biggest social transformations in human history - with fundamental consequences for everyone. A new world order is emerging: we might have lost faith in institutions and leaders, but millions of people travel in cars with total strangers, exchange digital currencies, or find themselves trusting a bot. This is the age of distributed trust, a paradigm shift driven by innovative technologies that are rewriting the rules of an all-too-human relationship. If we are to benefit from this radical shift, we must understand the mechanics of how trust is built, managed, lost and repaired in the digital age. In the first book to explain this new world, Botsman provides a detailed map of this uncharted landscape - and explores what's next for humanity.

Rachel Botsman is a world-renowned expert on the implications of a new era of trust and technology for life, work, and business. She contributes to the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Wall Street Journal, Guardian, and other publications on a regular basis. She's also a Wired contributing editor.
