As you’d expect, this whole structure of decision making answers basically to the transnational corporations, international banks, etc. It’s also an effective blow against democracy. All these structures raise decision making to the executive level, leaving what’s called a “democratic deficit” — parliaments and populations with less influence.
Noam Chomsky, “The New Global Economy,” How the World Works (2013).
Not only that, but the general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.
