Trust: America's Best Chance

In this collection of essays, Pete Buttigieg argues that the erosion of public trust in American institutions is the central crisis facing the nation. Drawing on his experience as a mayor and his background in public policy, he examines how trust functions as the invisible infrastructure that allows democracy to function, from local governance to national security. The book moves beyond partisan critique to offer a pragmatic framework for rebuilding confidence in government, emphasizing transparency, competence, and the restoration of shared civic norms.
