Onora O'Neill: What we don't understand about trust

It’s not about how much trust we have for others and the society. It’s about trusting the people who are trustworthy and make ourselves trustworthy.

Onora O'Neill: What we don't understand about trust

    1.  It's judging how trustworthy people are in particular respects. Intelligently placed and intelligently refused trust is the proper aim.

    2. Put trustworthiness before trust. Trust is the response.Trustworthiness is what we have to judge. 

    3. Trust, in the end, is distinctive because it's given by other people.  If you make yourself vulnerable to the other party,then that is very good evidence that you are trustworthy and you have confidence in what you are saying.
