[dgriaupz] Creating or thwarting trust

It takes a lot for a community of people to learn to trust one another: Time, group effort, shared experiences of the good times and bad times.

Such communities are probably good things, as many people working together can accomplish more than individuals working alone.  How should a benevolent social planner structure things to encourage the formation of such communities?

How would one discourage the formation of such communities, fearing cults of personality, rebellions against the status quo, etc.?  Is it already happening?
