| We've heard a lot about government as a regulator. What about government as a buyer? With almost half a trillion dollars in government spending that flows to government contractors, as a buyer, the US federal government is pretty much as big as it gets. What would happen if government and industry came together to encourage corporate transparency and accountability? What would happen if buyer and suppliers got together in the same room and decided to make a big difference in the world, not by mandate and law, but through the marketplace? |
