Accountability

I expect many will agree the lack of accountability is at the root of many contemporary problems, where those in charge of large social organizations cannot be held accountable for the consequences of their decisions. This lack of accountability is apparent in both corporate and government organizations. The simple condition to beware comes from our social nature: absolute power corrupts absolutely, where that power leads to abuse of those at the bottom. The following topics are in this topic group.
