Suspicion: A Worldwide Crisis of Trust
Xenia Cherkaev, a comparative ethnographer who steers the discussion, and Andrew Haxby, an anthropologist who studied Kathmandu’s land market after the 2015 earthquake. They explore suspicion around brokers, how remittances and rising land values turn family plots into investment bubbles, brokers’ opaque profit tactics, and the social and generational strains this creates.
