A crucial problem of government and corporations concerns power-and the abuse of it.American lives are dominated by large public and private organizations.The public organizations,primarily government agencies,affect almost every area of their experience.They register births,provide education and social services,record our marriages,regulate many of the conditions of employment,collect taxes,influence countless aspects of lives through thousands of laws,and finally register deaths.The private organizations,primarily business corporations,provide jobs for the bulk of the population and supply most of consumer needs,from banking and television services to clothing and gasoline.American lives and their entire complex civilization are largely dependent on big organizations.Yet these organizations,originally established to satisfy needs and improve the quality of lives,are often experienced as oppressive,unresponsive,impersonal,inefficient,arrogant,and even corrupt.Particularly since the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s,it has been apparent that the major organizations in American society sometimes work in concert to advance their own interests rather than those of the people.The lack of public answerability of these large organizations has become a major social problem.
Government and corporations are widely distrusted in the United States.The presidencies of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were marked by a well-founded public belief that their administrations were deliberately and systematically lying to the people.Distrust of government reached its height during the Watergate affair,when the discovery of the abuse of power drove a president from office.Although Nixon himself was pardoned by his successor and escaped accountability for his acts in office,the Watergate affair led to the trials and convictions of many high public officials on such charges as extortion,perjury,conspiracy,subverting the course of justice,misuse of campaign funds,bribery,illegal wiretapping,and tax fraud.
