ABSTRACT
At the start of this book, I stated that the public are increasingly estranged from their governors, national and corporate. This is an international phenomenon. And the public’s reactions to such issues as Brexit, Trump and the turbulence in the European Union have reinforced my view. This growing divide is apparent economically, politically, socially and culturally. I argued that neither the public nor their current governors, political and directoral, have yet to develop the intellectual and practical tools to resolve this phenomenon. Because the necessary words and frameworks are neither debated nor agreed, there is a dialogue of the deaf between the five main players: directors, owners, regulators, politicians and the public. Each finds it very easy to blame the others and none seems to have taken a “helicopter view” to look at how all five might work together to create a whole – a national system of governance.
