I recommend viewing this talk (you can do it directly if you have flash, or install miro and add a TED channel to it which is a better option ). It talks about things like Prisoners Dilemma and how people are increasingly escaping it by cooperating, by turning distrust into assurance.

This is a full transcript of the Richard Stallman's speech that I visited in March last year. It should be a good read.
