答案                     Which Comes First—Trust or Trustworthiness?
    During the past year, the headlines have publicised lots of cases of untrustworthy behaviour, some of it lurid, even criminal, some of it merely squalid and routine. Some bankers and some care-home workers, some journalists and some politicians and assorted others have been exposed as untrustworthy. Once again the slightly plaintive question "How can we restore trust?" is on everyone’s lips.
    Taken in one way, the answer is pretty obvious. First, be trustworthy. Second, provide others with good evidence that you are trustworthy. As Abraham Lincoln pointed out, "You may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time."
    I think it’s perverse to think of trust as more basic than trustworthiness. To place and refuse trust intelligently we need first to judge others’ trustworthiness, or their lack of trustworthiness, in specific matters. Only when we can do so, will we be in a position to place and refuse trust intelligently.
