"The majority of the crises crippling national and international economies, the environment, politics and culture can be distilled to a central problem: a crisis of trust. Trust is a complex notion. It is incredibly difficult to build, yet very easy to destroy. It is an elusive concept, yet an absolutely essential element in our communal economic and personal lives. At times, trust can feel almost like an emotion, a form of comfort, yet this fragile element of our lives carries a heavy economic burden, for as a society's trust declines, so does its economic prosperity. This is where we are today...So what are the ingredients of trust? can you design trust? Can you trust design?"
