Trust, risk, and the social contract
Synthese 160 (1):21 - 25 (2008)
| Abstract | The problem of trust is discussed in terms of David Hume’s meadow-draining example. This is analyzed in terms of rational choice, evolutionary game theory and a dynamic model of social network formation. The kind of explanation that postulates an innate predisposition to trust is seen to be unnecessary when social network dynamics is taken into account. | |||||||||
