Trust, after all, is a matter of culture, emotion and even aesthetics. Broad trust begins with the sharing of vulnerabilities and Pascal Gielen argues that the commons provide the necessary space for this to happen \u2014 a space for breathing, experimentation and collective experience. How can all this contribute to building society and shaping politics? The author asks how a culture of distrust can be overcome. Contemporary society is increasingly marked by suspicion toward fellow citizens, governments and corporations \u2014 a suspicion fueled by the shifting of responsibility and a growing sense of powerlessness. We search for solutions in regulations, contracts, procedures, guarantees, audits, consultations, good governance and transparency. But do these mechanisms truly strengthen trust? Isn\u2019t trust in some sense always partially blind?"}
