信任在人们之间可靠地实现，因为他们对彼此有信念，使信任成为一种明智的态度。只要这些信念被证明是正确的，信任就会在人们之间可靠地存在。委托人会找出信任他人的理由，而受托人也会证明这些理由是正当的理由：他们所支持的信任通常不会令人失望。弄清楚人们为什么会相互信任的理由，尤其是正当的理由是很重要的。对于一个人们倾向于信任的社会来说，他们的信任一般都很好，几乎肯定会比信任没有出现或传播的社会更和谐和更有成效。如果我们不清楚人们为什么会相互信任，我们就有可能设计出会减少信任甚至将信任驱逐出去的制度。
Trust materializes reliably among people to the extent that they have beliefs about one another that make trust a sensible attitude to adopt. And trust reliably survives among people to the extent that those beliefs prove to be correct. Trustors identify reasons to trust others and trustees show that those reasons are good reasons: the trust which they support is generally not disappointed.It is important to be clear about the reasons, in particular the good reasons, why people might invest trust in one another. For a society where people are disposed to be trusting, and where their trust is generally well placed,] is almost certain to work more harmoniously and fruitfully than a society where trust fails to appear or spread.* If we are not clear about the good reasons why people might trust one another, we are in danger of designing institutions that will reduce trust or even drive it out.
