The Center for Western Civilization, Thought and Policy presents:

While human flourishing requires the general prosperity that comes from a free market system and it requires freedom that depends upon democratic institutions, there is a danger of redistributive and regulatory favoritism that undermines trust in the system generally. This can lead to political tribalism that is shown to reduce trust in the democratic system. This tension has implications for social, political, and economic development. How can cultural beliefs build trust in institutions? What implications are there for the family, religion, government, and the stability of western free market democracies?
