How does society function when you can't trust everyone?
When we think about trust, we naturally think about personal relationships or bank vaults. That's too narrow. Trust is much broader, and much more important. Nothing in society works without trust. It's the foundation of communities, commerce, democracy—everything.

In this insightful and entertaining book, Schneier weaves together ideas from across the social and biological sciences to explain how society induces trust. He shows how trust works and fails in social settings, communities, organizations, countries, and the world.

当你不能信任每个人时，社会是如何运作的？
当我们想到信任时，我们自然会想到个人关系或银行金库。太窄了。信任范围更广，也更重要。没有信任，社会上没有任何东西能运转。它是社区、商业、民主的基础。
在这本富有洞察力和娱乐性的书中，施奈尔将来自社会和生物科学的观点编织在一起，解释社会如何诱导信任。他展示了信任在社会环境、社区、组织、国家和世界中的作用和失败。
