But it\u2019s not always visible. We don\u2019t always recognize it, or value its contribution to society.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a story: on a recent trip to South America, I went to buy a simple pen. I pointed to the pen I wanted (it was around $10) and went up to an employee, who handed me a slip of paper, and pointed me towards another corner of the store. There, I paid an employee behind a barred counter, who in turn gave me another slip of paper and pointed me towards another direction in another part of the store. At this third location, I handed over my second slip of paper, and finally, received my pen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why did it take three people to sell a pen? What\u2019s the rationale behind this system? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>To put it bluntly: it reduces temptation to steal. By giving each employee a different role, nobody ever touched the pen and money at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>But this is a wasteful mechanism. The <a href=\"\/blog\/honest-truth-dishonesty\/\">lack of trust<\/a> forced this store to hire three people to ultimately, sell a pen. The sad news is that when we don\u2019t trust each other, it is a terrible waste of resources for us as individuals and for society as a whole.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The lack of t<\/b><b>rust in insurance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The insurance industry is no stranger to this lack of trust.

You trust your neighbors that it\u2019s in their best interest not to damage your neighborhood or building. Or you trust your coworkers that they\u2019re not going to steal stuff from your bag when you get up from your desk to go to the bathroom. When you look around your surroundings, it\u2019s apparent that we have a lot of trust among us. Think about the sharing economy &#8211; this is a great manifestation of what happens when different parts of society trust one another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So imagine how effective more trust would be, among big industries, between consumers and corporations, between governments worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could be massive. And that\u2019s a pretty cool concept to push forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rebuilding trust, reducing fraud<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a behavioral economist, I\u2019ve researched and <a href=\"\/blog\/honest-truth-dishonesty\/\">analyzed dishonesty<\/a> (or trust, if you\u2019re a cup half full kind of person), extensively. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three stages to trust: building trust, maintaining trust, and rebuilding trust. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take this experiment, called the Public Goods Game, which pretty much sums up the difference components of trust, and the potency it plays in our society. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Imagine you have a group of ten people. They each get a text message every morning informing them that they have $10. They can do one of two things: keep the money for themselves (or part of it), or put it into the public pool. If they put it in the public pool, their money is multiplied by five and then equally divided by everyone in the pool at the end of the day. So when these 10 people put $10 each into the public pool, there\u2019s $100 in the pool, and by the end of the day, it has become $500. Finally it is divided, and each person gets $50.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is what happens when everyone contributes to society equally. Everyone wins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plot thickens when one person decides not to contribute to the public pool. So in our example, 9 people put in $10, and one person kept the $10. At the end of the day, there\u2019s $450 dollars in the public pool, leaving $45 dollars for each person\u2026 except for that person who opted not to contribute to the public pool. This person gets $45 plus the original $10- so $55. In this case, the person who did not contribute, will profit more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once someone stops contributing, it\u2019s a slippery slope until no one contributes. They realize they are better off not contributing, since they\u2019re able to make a bigger profit by going solo. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trust is a public good &#8211; as long as we all contribute to it &#8211; we all benefit. But once we stop contributing, the system collapses. Fraud wins.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-460 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/trust-fraud-graph.png\" alt=\"fraud versus trust and the insurance industry\" width=\"1906\" height=\"1042\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/trust-fraud-graph.png 1906w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/trust-fraud-graph-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/trust-fraud-graph-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/trust-fraud-graph-1024x560.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1906px) 100vw, 1906px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As rigorous it is to build and maintain trust, it\u2019s even more difficult to <\/span><b>rebuild<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trust. If everyone contributes and one person suddenly stops, the situation deteriorates drastically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Can those people be convinced to put their money back in this public pool? That\u2019s the challenge that instigates dishonesty- finding ways around trust.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, a no-trust system paradoxically is extremely stable. When nobody contributes to the public pool, no one leans on the other. It\u2019s a very stable system; to each his own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And when everyone contributes, when there\u2019s high trust between members, the system becomes extremely fragile. It takes only one person to rock the boat &#8211; to decide not to contribute- and the system is on brink of collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining this is the tricky part.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9208 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/people.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/people.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/people-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/people-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lemonade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/people-400x209.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a society, we weave through building and maintaining trust, but we often fail at the most difficult task of it all: rebuilding trust.
