This book as dense as hell and near the limits of my reading comprehension, but damn it's good! It was written in the late 60s and early 70s by German philosopher Niklas Luhmann and only published in English in 2017. I feel this book was written for #nostr and #bitcoin. The gist of the book is that trust is all about reducing complexity. Luhmann takes great pains to eliminate 'moral intrusion' in his analysis, which he cites as a major criticism of the social sciences (they have become moral ideologies as opposed to sciences). I am hoping that better-equipped people from #resistancemoney will have a look and give a more-informed take than mine.
