From government to business, from media to medicine--the strength and security of the American experiment have been weakened by a widening gap between the elites who control these institutions and the public. At the root of this breakdown is a precipitous fall in Americans' trust in their political, business and cultural leaders. As Baker writes, "This pathology of distrust across American society is eating the country away from the inside." Millions of Americans say they have little faith in their country's future, and no longer seem to have trust in their leaders, in their important social and civil institutions, even in their common values and ideals, or ultimately in each other. 650 0 $a Elite (Social sciences) $x History $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political culture $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Conservatism. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Civilization $y 21st century. 941 $a 7 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517010928.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014020.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030422.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240305011506.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012526.0 952 $l SQPC104 $d 20231024010405.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20231018010818.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C58407626D7B11EEBBB0FB5526ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
