The need for interdependence
==The need for interdependence==
When a lot of power and resources are put in the hand of a small group or even in to a the hands of a single member, this power will corrupt the group or the person. Most people have inner mind calculation that makes them want more resources and power all the time. These make leaders greedy, and make them try and take as much resources as they can from other members of the group. And as they have more power they can take more resources without the other members' ability to resist.This is the reason the power to control need to be devised and create as much as you can between all members. Because of the problems of coordination, modern society divides the power between several elites (Montesque)

Yet if could somehow make the [[government]] equally depend on each and every member of the group, then it will assure that the interests of all the members will be considered on equal terms. Yet due to the problems of coordination, we still are very limited in the groups that we can consult and work to reach a common agreed decision. To solve this question, we need to understand deliberation in order to develop deliberative process which will enable larger and larger group to deliberate. We may gain also more knowledge which is distributed between a lot of members. Each with its own specialty, and with good deliberation, the social capital of the group may raise.
