Not the fault of capitalism, but you're right this is what happens when high trust is moving to low trust. If we want to survive it we need to stop assuming our peers will do right by us, and instead contractually obligate them to do so.

Businesses already do this to each other because they know there is no goodwill between corporations, so they formalize their relationships instead of pretending they aren't out there to maximize profit. There's a way to solve this, but we are too busy deluding ourselves into thinking we still live in a high trust environment.
