"The method and the underlying research design followed in the study is a very fortunate mix of qualitative, quantitative and case oriented elaborations, which generally properly back the development of balanced views. Good design allows the author at the same time to leave enough room to come up with policy oriented answers as well. Adhering to standard structures of the scientific searches, first, a firm theoretical framework was presented on the possible mechanisms through which trust affects economic policies; then the drawn hypotheses were tested empirically; finally deviations from the suggested theoretical patterns were analyzed – as can be expected from genuine works – to trigger some modification of the initial theory"
