Where there is no democracy, there is no justice. There is only power and subjugation. We rebelled against that condition to form a new nation at a time when most people were entrepreneurs or apprentices.

To be publicly traded, a corporation assumes public responsibilities. Chief among these but heretofore overlooked should be the implementation of democratic processes throughout the organization at every level.
