OM DENNE EPISODE
It opens in one of Stalin's prisons: a condemned man writing to the very dictator about to have him shot, still pleading to be trusted. From that chilling scene, historian Geoffrey Hosking sets out to explain one of history's strangest achievements: how we ever learned to trust far beyond the people we know. In Trust: A History, he traces that story across the centuries - through religion, money, and the nation - then carries it right up to now: Russia and Ukraine, an America that no longer looks like the anchor it once was, social media, and the risk of an AI bubble. A wide-ranging, quietly urgent conversation about the invisible force that holds a society together, and how easily it can fall apart.

We tend to distrust people who lead with their emotions. In business, in politics, in negotiation. Someone who gets angry, who shows empathy, who wears their feelings openly is seen as a liability. Not quite serious. Possibly dangerous.

We tend to think of trust as something that grows where people agree. Where neighbors share values, where voters share a party, where a city sees itself as forward-looking and inclusive. The more common ground, the more trust. That, at least, is the intuition.
San Francisco complicates that pictu…
Wikipedia serves 11 billion pages a month and almost nobody questions it anymore. But how did millions of anonymous strangers, unpaid and from every culture, manage to build the world's largest encyclopedia together and keep it honest? The answer, according to Jimmy Wales, is trust — and trust by d…
