One part of the problem is how money stacks the deck, not just for dictatorships that wield de facto control over the economy, but also in democratic countries, where business is free to use its resources to “influence” government. Political parties claim to embody ideas and worldviews, but in many ways they are simply self-perpetuating money machines.
问题的其中一部分就是金钱如何占据了上风，不仅仅是独裁国家政权在事实上控制了整个国家经济，民主国家中的企业也在任意使用自己的资源去“影响”政府。政党都宣称自己的是某些理念和世界观的承载者，但在许多方面看来它们不过是些自我固化的赚钱机器而已。
