While I think that most of the discussions on this thread are worth having, I don't think they really relate directly to the referenced insidermag article and the Edelman report.
My takeaway from the article is that distrust is a consequence of the growing wealth inequality in many countries. And that while during the pandemic many governments have provided economic stimuli the net result was an increase in stock market performance and not economic security for the lower and middle classes.
