Transparency
In the internet age, data will out. It is harder than ever to keep secrets, especially when they are injurious to citizens. Consider this case. The Pandora papers have exposed tax dodges and acquisitions of hundreds of country leaders and politicians, particularly those from Third World nations with high wealth inequality. The millions of leaked documents from law firms kept 600 journalists busy for months and expose thievery that has kept citizens down for hundreds of years. It has continued the theme of political power giving license to steal. With the exposure of these facts, maybe, just maybe, citizens will revolt against their kleptomaniac leaders and demand transparency once and for all.
