How Trust Moves Markets

Explore why investors, workers, and companies respond not only to market size but also to uncertainty, legal predictability, labor conditions, and geopolitical risk. Use examples from trade agreements, foreign direct investment, wage bargaining, airline fleet expansion, and logistics or public infrastructure projects to explain how confidence is built or eroded. What signals matter most to long-term capital: regulation, unions, policy stability, or operational execution? Then design a checklist for evaluating whether a country or industry is becoming more attractive to investors.
