Season 4, Episode 9
Trust is the social glue of our society. It determines how we live, love and work - and yet we usually only talk about it when it is lacking. But what is the real state of trust among Germans? And what is it actually about when we talk about trust? A feeling or a decision?
In this episode, find out why social trust has tended to increase over the last 25 years, how generations deal with it differently and what role openness, experience and transparency play in a trusting future.
