More DescriptionPiotr Sztompka here presents a comprehensive theoretical account of trust as a fundamental component of human actions. Professor Sztompka's detailed and systematic study takes account of the rich evolving research on trust, and explains its meaning, foundations and functions.

This conceptually creative and elegant work will be of interest to scholars and students of sociology, political science and social philosophy.
