Corruption and bribes.

Corruption and bribes.

So much for Democracy and transparency!
Deals are being made against the interests of people everywhere by powerful "Unelected" parties, whose only interests are their own profits.

Unless we assume corruption in the form of bribes to government officials, there is no obvious motive for making such agreements. Why do we accept bureacrats making agreements in our names?

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
