Chapter 2 - Trust Capital

“That’s his trust capital, so to speak. His image is to appear as the guardian of robust morality as opposed to the business world, and he is invited pretty regularly to pontificate on television.” (pg. 57)
The theme of trust is one that is repeated through out the story so far, but the idea of it being a currency is one that goes against the idea of what trust is. 
Trust Capital as a concept focuses too much on the basis that trust can be traded, where as it is commonly thought of more as something that is to be gained and nurtured rather than traded.

Please give us your opinion on the idea of trust as a currency and why you think of it as one way or another.
