Industrial production needs hierarchy, leaving trust only for dealing spheres
Evidence
Frafras relied on trust as a last resort, for good reasons. Trust is essential to dealing, as is known by the diamond traders and by the game theorists, with their suckers, free-riders, and lemons. But the routines of productive organization are not easily managed by an ethos of personal freedom. Kinship and contract each offer a durable model for hierarchy and control: parental and legal sanctions respectively. — Diego Gambetta, Trust - Making and Breaking Cooperative…, 2443
