One can sensibly question the claim for each of these terms here. For example, one might note that society without trust is very nearly impossible, but in a sense very different from that apparently intended by Eisenstadt and Roniger. That is to say, if we do build stable, continuing relations with others, we will commonly have the conditions, including the relevant incentives, for trustworthiness and trust. It would therefore be virtually, although not logically, impossible to escape the development of some trust.
