Concluding Remarks: The Economy of Trust Generates Value

Abstract

The concept of ‘Economy of Trust’ has shown how trust, being an insuppressible instinct of the human condition, cannot vanish; it rather channels spontaneously towards entities of various origin. Padua introduces three different models of Economy of Trust: The Deregulated model; The Centralized model; The Selective model. This latter represents a moderate form of the Keynesian model of socialization as it allows the channelling of trust towards institutional bodies that are responsible for institutional trustworthiness, coordinating the national level with the international. This model would help the execution of five typologies of intervention to establish or re-establish trust in an economic and social context: Generating positive stories; Granting equity; Supporting trust in the state of credit; Determining the risk price; Entailing the sense of responsibility in media.
