Abstract
In this article we embark on a re-orientation of the theory of trust which contains three steps1.
Several colleagues sent us comments on an earlier version of this paper, some of which have led to changes and improvements. Not all the points that deserved attention, however, receive it here, mostly because of lack of space. We are particularly grateful to Tyler Cowen, Jon Elster, Russell Hardin, Susan Hurley, David Laitin, and Gerry Mackie.
