4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for a start
This is an intersting book to open a general view in the subject of trust, and it's interface with the social system, and the relations that are stablished in it. It may be a good star to one who is interested in a deeper dive in the subject - but just a start, something to get you familiar with the basics ideas.

Sociological Trust in Post Communism,
By
This review is from: Trust: A Sociological Theory (Cambridge Cultural Social Studies) (Paperback)
The author presents this book as a cumulative effort to clarify sociological issues surround the study of trust in contemporary society providing a theoretical review of trust as a fundamental component of human actions. Sztompka discusses the foundation and functions of sociological trust theory, the emergence and decay of trust within cultures and identifies functional substitutes for trust. The discussion of trust is presented from the sociological paradigm of communism and postcommunist social order. The book defines several trust phenomena: Sztompka presents several trust "dimensions": trust is an dimension of civic culture; trust becomes an important aspect of civil society, once the concept is given cultural meaning, trust fares is an important dimension of culture and social capital, and trust is linked to post materialistic values. The researcher defines trust as: "a bet about the future contingent actions of others". Sztompka defines three functional substitutes when interpersonal and institutional trust collapses: providentialism: a resigned acceptance of existing conditions; corruption: which replaces all normal channels of power and influence to develop trust purchasing favor, and ghettoization: where individuals escape into enclaves of closeness, familiarity, and security.
