Ivory Tower: Public Trust in Business and Government—A New Way Forward

ETHISHPERE, August 21, 2009
By Brian Moriarty


Public trust in both business and in government has been low for decades. Since Gallup began measuring public trust in the professions in 1976, 19 percent of people on average have had a “very high” or “high” opinion of the honesty and ethics of business executives.

All indications are that public trust in business and in government, both generally low, is in crisis. This is not surprising, given the collapse of the U.S. housing market and the subsequent global financial crisis which led to unprecedented levels of public money being used to support financial institutions and automakers.
