> groups have to return to more traditional forms of trust (family, religion, creed, etc)

a relevant acronym is MICE (money, ideology, compromise/coercion, ego). Religion would fall under ideology.

Money and coercion is what corporations have now and it doesn’t work very well because the incentive is to violate it as soon as a better offer comes along.

I’m saying it has to be deeper and more durable.
