Trust, Democracy, Capitalism

Trust entails both that the involved parties are peers, and that they are voluntary participants.  Thus, as combining Freedom and Equality, Trust is Democratic, and, conversely, Democracy expresses Trust.  Now, Trust can obtain in the bartering of two Feudal artisans.  However, it can be lacking in a job interview in a Capitalist system.  For, unless one of the preconditions of that interaction is a job market Supply-Demand equilibrium, the parties involved are not peers.  Thus, there is no necessary correlation between Democracy and Capitalism.
