This book contains new theoretical discussion and new empirical
evidence on the way people think about and cope with the risks and
uncertainties of modern life. The national surveys cover areas
ranging from lone parenthood to medicine, from house purchase to
long-term care, from personal finance to the welfare state.
People's confidence in their capacity to cope with uncertainty is
closely related to social class, gender and access to support
networks. Policies that assume that people are self-interested
rational actors are likely to produce unsatisfactory results and to
damage the essential social capital of trust.
