I have argued that impersonal trust permits complex developments in social organization and exchange that create distinctive opportunities for abuse. These are responded to by new social-control strategies that unfortunately share some of the same structural properties as the original developments. Therefore, similar opportunities for violation emerge and stimulate new social-control measures that contain the structural seeds of further deviance. And so on.

XREF: Echoes the idea of legislation creating loopholes and further legislating, and self-fulfilling prophecy dynamics in social theory. Also resonates with cybernetic feedback loops.
