Description
What if trust could be measured, modeled, and treated as a form of capital — one that shapes markets as decisively as labor, land, or money? Trust as Capital brings together two original frameworks, Double Trust Reflection Theory (DTRT) and Global Reflection Economic Theory (GRE), into a single, unified theory of how trust is created, eroded, and reflected across economic systems.
Moving beyond conventional macroeconomic models, the book treats trust as a structural variable with its own dynamics: it accumulates like capital, depreciates like an asset, and reflects — propagates and distorts — through interconnected markets in patterns that echo physical wave behavior. Grounded in original mathematical modeling, the author reframes recessions, currency instability, and geopolitical shocks as failures and reflections of trust, offering economists and policymakers a new lens for anticipating systemic risk before it fully unfolds.
Trust as Capital challenges readers to reconsider the invisible infrastructure beneath every economic transaction: not money, but trust itself — the true reserve currency of civilization.
