Eric Barker in his book Barking Up The Wrong Tree brings out a very different perspective in trustworthiness.

He goes on to say that there are lots to learn from pirates and prison gangs when it comes to trustworthiness.

Pirates operated as such a successful criminal group because of high amount of trust among each individual.

What lacks in modern day societies and organizations is the lack of trust.Hence on a lighter note we shoukd take a cue from these groups when it comes to trustworthiness and learn to build flourishing societies.
