This Is What Conspiracy Really Looks Like
“… conspiracy is … simply profitable information being passed between collaborators for the purposes of private gain… These events don’t need to be done with a master plan in mind, they simply leverage jointly valued opportunity…”

Good article, though he forgets to mention executives’ minions as part of the problem. You know, those underlings who want to be overlings. They are the absolute worst. Luckily, they’re also the ones most often cut as excess fat during layoffs.
Greed is Not a Virtue by David Korten — Agenda for a New Economy
