    Feb 27 2011: It is possible, but expensive, to build a business without developing trust. It is impossible to build a "good" or sustainable business without trust.

    In business, social, economic and environmental forms of trust come into play. Social trust is between people. Economic trust relates to transactional systems and environmental trust has to do with physical realities around us.

    Trust is an absolute requirement for good business, if "good" refers to a good life, good people and good times.
