Abstract

The previous chapter’s conclusion that inherently trustworthy types are essential for modern production leads to the question of how such types arise. Without an answer to this, “explanations” that stop at development succeeding due to trustworthy individuals, or failing due to their absence are tautological. What is needed is a way of accounting for the construction of individuals.
