Kritik

"Adam Seligman's impressively thoughtful book suggests that the logic of waning trust in the late modern period may be to return the human subject to a premodern condition."--John Gray, The Times Literary Supplement (London) "The Problem of Trust is a demanding, closely reasoned, scholarly work... It is well worth the time of patient, attentive readers."--Carl L. Bankston III, Commonweal "The historical and religious perspective that Mr. Seligman brings to the contemporary debate about trust and civil society would greatly deepen our understanding of the way these issues are playing out in American society today."--Francis Fukuyama, The Washington Timesmehr
