The fact of the matter is we designed the United Nations back after World War II, and as imperfect as it is, and it is, it works for us. Who do you know your age and younger who does any job for 25 or 30 years anymore, much less five years, right? “By putting their bodies on the line, these marchers had the courage to change the trust equation in ways that directly led to some achievements in the civil rights era.”, So trust can save lives and change the world.

Buttigieg contends that our success, or failure, at confronting the greatest challenges of the decade--racial and economic justice, pandemic resilience, and climate action--will rest on whether we can effectively cultivate, deepen, and, where necessary, repair the networks of trust that are now endangered, or for so many, have never even existed. When we withdraw from the World Health Organization or when President Trump contemplates withdrawing from NATO, as he reportedly has, or when we try to stick it to the United Nations rather than make it work for us, that’s not punishing the institutions; that’s harming our own national interests and our ability to protect and defend ourselves and advance our values. As someone who comes from the local level of government, I was struck by something that you wrote about, this was back in 2017 when I think all of us were trying to figure out how to face the rest of the world in the Trump era, you wrote, “Congressional delegations, governors, and mayors can reassure our key allies that the American people still value them and that we do not intend to cede our global leadership.” Even then, you were thinking about the global role of local leaders, and now I know you’re helping at least one local leader deal with a global issue in its local implications with the pandemic.
What it does point out is that for the average citizen on a daily basis it would be great if the president of the United States were doing his job and, for example, procuring vast quantities of PPE and ventilators and distributing them rationally so that states weren’t having to compete against each other and bidding up the price, and it would be great if we had a national testing strategy that made sure that we had the quantity and quality of tests and distributed them rationally, we don’t have any of that, but at the end of the day, what Americans have come to understand is it really matters who your mayor is, who your governor is. I think fortunately in this moment, with all that we have to repair and rebuild, we benefit from the prospect of starting with somebody who comes with an extensive record that people can already trust. The Boston Globe & The Boston Book Festival host Pete Buttigieg to discuss his new book, Trust: America’s Best Chance, with Globe editorial page editor Bina Venkataraman. Right now in the State Department, this is as bad as I can imagine in my lifetime, but of the some 180-odd ambassadors that we have around the world, three, Pete, are African-American right now.

I agree, it shouldn’t have taken things being smashed to bits the way they have been by this administration, but since they have been, it makes it all the more urgent and maybe all the more possible to make these kinds of changes. And we’ve harmed ourselves because the World Health Organization is doing in the most difficult, least developed parts of the world, the hard work to stamp out diseases, whether Ebola or polio or HIV or COVID, that we can’t do all by ourselves, or if we tried to do, it’d be extremely costly and inefficient. I wonder, in your experience, what you’ve come to conclude about how the different levels of government in our system interact and what that might mean to help us meet the moment in the years ahead, especially knowing that in the absence of federal leadership these last few years it’s really fallen to mayors and governors to step up. If we rise to meet these challenges in a way that's inclusive and authentic, then I believe we have a historic opportunity to swiftly accumulate trust in a way that hasn't happened probably since World War II, another moment where America earned a century's worth of credibility in a handful of years, because of the choices that we made. : Alexander Keyssar — Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College?
