Trust and Antitrust.
Baier, Annette C. "Trust and Antitrust." In Moral Prejudices: Essays on Ethics. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1994.
Why this matters here
Baier treats trust as accepted vulnerability—relying on another’s goodwill where harm is possible. How Trust Forms begins there: neighbors start cooperating through small, uneven exposures before anyone knows whether the relationship will hold.
