Systems that successfully increases the sense of trust amongst all members of a community will make life much more pleasant and rewarding for all involved. The great thing is that there a virtuous circle here. Look at the way the Quakers applied a system of trust and honor that catapulted them to such prominence in business in a way that benefitted all that did business with them and all that worked for them. A new system of trust, designed for the realities and opportunites of the modern world will kick start communities and economies where there were none before. If you are interested, Francis Fukuyama is quite good on this subject. The deeper you get into it the more you realise its the question at the heart of all the great political and economic debates of the modern age.
