ABSTRACT

Government, whether local, national or supranational, is just another form of organization; the author looks no distinction, other than size and power, between an organization called the 'Government of Great Britain'. Meanwhile, all across the world, in nation after nation, the average citizen sees government as a worthless monster, even a threat to civilized life, of value only to those who have learnt to milk it. Another reason for separating governmental powers into two chambers, governance and management, rather than between the generally accepted executive, legislature and judiciary, is this: democracy, like justice, has to be seen to be done. The United Nations is another case where we have failed to separate governance from management and where, consequently, its performance has been disappointing. A corporate democracy is a society in which the intended beneficiaries of all its socially significant organizations, gain full and final democratic control by means of the separation of elected governance from executive management.
