    • My colleague Bill Bratton tells me that my subconscious suspicion undoubtedly awoke me and that I really did not trust my son. Though I have no intention of exploring my subconscious here, suffice it to say that perhaps I did not. The important point for this article is that I told him that I did.

    • supra note 13. Being trusted makes you more trustworthy only if it is something you regularly experience
    • I do not mean to suggest that the experience of being trusted necessarily makes a person trustworthy in all times and in all places. The citizens of Monterey generally would have been foolish to trust the paesanos. In this respect, I think Hardin's insights into the epistemological development of trusting have great force and some transitivity into trustworthiness - it is a matter of experience and training. If the paesanos were trusted around Monterey, perhaps they might have developed more trustworthiness in general rather than only in the specific story we are told. I have elsewhere made the argument that the American model of corporate law, which distrusts of corporate directors and officers, is one of the contributing causes to corporate irresponsibility. See Mitchell, Trust and Team Production, supra note 13. Being trusted makes you more trustworthy only if it is something you regularly experience.

    • Hardin talks about the commitment to religion as a possible means of establishing a credible commitment to be trusted. See Hardin, Trustworthiness, supra note 6, at 31 (comparing the social devices of relationships with close associations and constructed organizations such as religion). Steinbeck's example does not prove this point. Steinbeck gives us no reason to believe that the five paesanos shared the Pirate's religious faith - their trust was not induced by the Pirate's intended use of his savings, but instead by the fact that he trusted them to honor that use.

    • I do not want to overstate my case. Being trusted does not, in all people and in all cases, make one more trustworthy. In fact, the paesanos' response to Big Joe Portagee's defection was continual monitoring, and indeed Steinbeck suggests that he would have taken the money again if he had the chance. But this is only to say that some people are more prone to virtue than others, not that all of us will attain the same level of virtue despite our influences and experiences-an observation as old as Aristotle.

    • Williamson's explanation of how contracts are used to allocate risk, thereby dispensing with the need for trust, is similar to Hardin's understanding of commitment devices. See Hardin, Trustworthiness, supra note 6, at 41-42 (describing a variety of devices an individual can use to make a commitment that makes it in his or her interest to be trustworthy).

While I do not discount the importance of efficiency, and indeed will argue that trust itself is economically efficient, I want to isolate for the moment this value underlying Williamson's analysis from other analytical approaches to trust. Thus, I do not assume that efficiency is necessarily an underlying value of trust as habit or behavioral norm

That Hardin unlike Williamson, believes in the existence of a broader concept of trust is clear although it ultimately seems to come to rest in at least some subconscious calculation.

    • See Mitchell, The Death of Fiduciary Duty in Close Corporations, supra note 12 (discussing the role of fiduciary rights and duties in the context of close corporations, and concluding that fiduciary duty "is a valuable principle and an important supplement to the remedial approaches provided by statute"). 83 This in itself is enormously complex. What brings praise and praiseworthiness from one group (e.g. teenagers) might bring condemnation from another (e.g. their teachers and parents). The complexity suggests the need for a useful theory of norms to incorporate within it some method of normative evaluation, or at least a useful way of ducking the issue, much as Rawls does with his concept of the overlapping consensus.

Compare this to the definition of Kaldor-Hicks efficiency, adopted by many lawyer-economists as the definition of efficiency: one person is made better off than another but in an amount sufficient to compensate that other if the first person were to choose to do so. See MARK SEIDENFELD, MICROECONOMIC PREDICATES TO LAW AND ECONOMICS 54-55 (1996) (defining economic change as Kaldor-Hicks efficient when "the new outcome makes those who benefit sufficiently well of that they would still end up with an increase in utility even if they compensated the losers enough to make the losers indifferent").

    • 164 N.E. 545, 548 (N.Y. 1928) (holding that Salmon's failure to warn Meinhard of the new lease, and his appropriation of the benefit for himself, amounted to a breach of Salmon's fiduciary duty as a managing coadventurer). The following is a brief summary of the facts of the case: Walter J. Salmon entered into a twenty-year lease for a piece of property known as the Hotel Bristol. See id. at 545. Salmon wanted to convert the existing hotel into shops and offices, a $200,000 undertaking. See id. at 546. Salmon approached Meinhard, who agreed to pay Salmon half of the funds needed to construct, manage, and operate the property. See id. In return, Salmon agreed to pay Meinhard a percentage of the yearly profits. See id. Shortly before the lease expired, Salmon secretly entered into a new lease for the property, and never revealed the fact to Meinhard. Id. Meinhard sued Salmon, claiming that the new lease agreement was a product of the joint venture they had previously entered. Id. See also Mitchell, The Death of Fiduciary Duty in Close Corporations, supra note 12, at 1692-99.
