					<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t read the book, but the danger is that transparency gets a lot of political lip-service but only gets introduced in the least important areas. For example, companies have to disclose relatively unimportant things like directors&#039; compensation, but not the &#039;chinese box&#039; structures of their holdings.  Even then transparency itself (e.g. requirements of politicians to declare sources of finance) doesn&#039;t seem to appreciably alter political realities.  Thus it&#039;s perhaps a necessary, but not sufficient condition of real global (or even local) democracy.]]></description>
