The Great Trust Shift: From Institutions to Strangers
In short: We are witnessing a profound transformation in how we rely on one another. This video explores why we are moving away from trusting established institutions toward trusting strangers through digital platforms.
Rachel Botsman examines the transition from institutional trust—historically placed in governments and banks—to a decentralized model. This shift is driven by the rise of peer-to-peer platforms like Airbnb and Uber, as well as technologies like blockchain.
While this evolution could foster a more inclusive and accountable society, the video suggests that the success of this new era depends entirely on how we manage these new dynamics of trust.
