John Dewey said in 1931, ‘As long as politics is the shadow cast on society by big business, the attenuation of the shadow will not change the substance.’
The ‘revolving door’ practice, where big business is in bed with government, promotes greater rights to a select few. State officials leave government to lobby on the side of corporations that seek lucrative state contracts. In turn, corporate executives move into politics to attain positions of influence over government.
On 21 January, 2009, US President Barrack Obama signed into law a ‘revolving door ban’ to combat the practice of lobbyists entering government and government officials leaving to become lobbyists.
