85% of Americans think corporations have too much influence in our democracy, and we think Donella Meadows would be one of them. In her article Leverage Points, she wrote: Democracy...depends upon the free, full, unbiased flow of information back and forth between electorate and leaders. Billions of dollars are spent to limit and bias and dominate that flow. Give the people who want to distort market price signals the power to pay off government leaders, get the channels of communication to be self-interested corporate partners themselves, and none of the necessary negative feedbacks work well. Both market and democracy erode. Check out this inspiring video from The Story of Stuff Project that explains this erosion and what we can do about it!
