Trust is a valuable social asset that forms the basis of democracy. Trust demands respect for the inherent value and rights of a human being. It is true that while “taxes are the price we pay for civilization”- civilization cannot sustain itself without trust. Distrust kills transparency, creates divide and fuels manoeuvring to suit ones motive. If a government distrusts its people, people are likely to reciprocate by distrusting the system. Reciprocity and cooperation increase in a trust based regime where people trust that others will indeed reciprocate.
