My personal opinion is that life at the top – both within government and business circles – is so innately corrupt at this point that we need to take a different approach. One book stands out on the topic of changing the world from the bottom up (those on top will only change their ways when the bottom speaks out loudly) and it also happens to be written by Paul Hawken. Blessed Unrest talks about the millions of people who are making a difference in the world today, acting as individuals or as part of nonprofits and NGOs. Highly Recommended! If we speak, and act, in a manner that supports the common good, I believe policy will follow.
