The concept of the public has been systematically eroded over the past four decades, replaced by private and corporate interests.

What was good for them was deemed good for all. But from banking to politicians and the media that has been shown to be false.

The only way further crises can be avoided so that Britain can transition to a new economy and society is though the reassertion of a "public interest" in political and corporate life.
