> Which is cause and which is consequence?

Honestly the problem is that its a feedback loop. A trusting culture leads to people being more trustworthy... in the long run. The first company to do it will be taken advantage of. It will take a while for society to then frown on that and apply social pressure which will then in turn unlock more trust etc... but it's a process for sure




I imagine that trust can come and go as decades turn into centuries. It seems that social trust is decreasing in a number of places...
