The book explores the transition from impersonal bureaucratic interactions to the necessity of informal relationships for fostering trust and cooperation. It examines case studies from former Eastern Europe and virtual communities, highlighting how societies can drive social change by balancing formal and informal interactions. Barbara Misztal argues that achieving this balance is essential for advancing democracy and enhancing quality of life in the modern world.
