In Building Trust , Robert C. Solomon and Fernando Flores offer compelling answers to these questions. They argue that trust is not something that simply exists from the beginning, something we can assume or take for granted; that it is not a static quality or ʺsocial glue.ʺ Instead, they assert that trust is an emotional skill, an active and dynamic part of our lives that we build and sustain with our promises and commitments, our emotions and integrity. In looking closely at the effects of mistrust, such as insidious office politics that can sabotage a company's efficiency, Solomon and Flores demonstrate how to move from naïve trust that is easily shattered to an authentic trust that is sophisticated, reflective, and possible to renew. As the global economy makes us more and more reliant on ʺstrangers,ʺ and as our political and personal interactions become more complex, Building Trust offers invaluable insight into a vital aspect of human relationships.

Disclosing New Worlds calls for a recovery of a way of being that has always characterized human life at its best. The book argues that human beings are at their best not when they are engaged in abstract reflection, but when they are intensely involved in changing the taken-for-granted, everyday practices in some domain of their culture - that is, when they are making history. History-making, in this account, refers not to wars and transfers of political power but to changes in the way we understand and deal with ourselves. The authors identify entrepreneurship, democratic action, and the cultivation of solidarity as the three major arenas in which people make history, and they focus on three prime methods of history-making - reconfiguration, cross-appropriation, and articulation.
