However, I find that instead of making me feel empowered and excited, the idea of taking on both corporations and the government is rather daunting. However, you’re right, I don’t want to give the government more surveillance power. Is there no opportunity for a compromise? As I see it, governments and corporations are currently pretty much working hand in hand on the capitalism mission. Could we not celebrate what is good in democratic governments, whilst condemning the corporate influence? Can we seperate government from corporations? Then the government would be able to be a powerful, democratically mandated body which could regulate corporations. Is this possible?

great article. Wish i had found it a few weeks ago. Just wondering how you found the summit itself and what you thought about the outcomes?
