| Abstract: | This article presents an analysis of variations in the level of generalized social trust in 60 nations of the world shows that trust is an integral part of a tight syndrome of social, political and economic conditions. High trust countries are characterized by ethnic homogeneity, Protestant religious traditions, good government, wealth and income equality. This combination is most marked in the high trust Nordic countries. it is also shown that rural societies have comparatively low levels of generalized trust but large-scale urban societies do not. |
