Abstract
As I wrote at the beginning, this book is written around the central message that collectivist societies produce assurance of security and destroy trust. In addition to this explicit message, this book has another, implicit message. The implicit message of this book is that we cannot think about human minds without considering their relationships to the social environment. Unlike the explicit message, this message is not the focus of discussion in this book. However, this constitutes the “meta theory” for my theory of trust, the main theme of this book.

Notes

This definition of coevolution is the same as the definition of complimentarity as the term is used in institutional economics (see Aoki 2001).
