Trust and Trustworthiness

Hardin, Russell. Trust and Trustworthiness. New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2002.

Hardin analyzes trustworthiness as an expectation grounded in encapsulated interest—reasons the trusted party has to act as relied upon. How Trust Forms takes that into ordinary neighborhoods: declarations communicate intention, but repeated consequences are what teach others what relying on you is likely to produce.
