This work examines the concept of trust from the angle of the trustee, rather than the truster. Rather than thinking of trust as risk-taking, Potter views it as equally a matter of responsibility-taking. She looks at trust particularly in the context of power relations.
This work examines the concept of trust in the light of virtue theory, and takes our responsibility to be trustworthy as central. Rather than thinking of trust as risk-taking, Potter views it as equally a matter of responsibility-taking. How Can I Be Trusted? illustrates that relations of trust are never independent from considerations of power, and that the trustee has a moral obligation not to exploit the vulnerability of the trusting person. Asking ourselves what we can do to be trustworthy allows us to move beyond adversarial trust relationships and toward a more democratic, just, and peaceful society.
