Trust is down, worldwide. In India, Iran, Indonesia and Nigeria, less than 15% say that ‘most people can be trusted’. What’s going on? I suggest several likely mechanisms:
1) Generalised distrust is correlated with strong family bonds
2) Poorer countries have rapidly urbanised at a lower level of income
3) Rule of law varies worldwide
4) Political contestation and growing polarisation
5) Online connectivity has boomed, and is increasingly negative
