David Cameron, introduced as the future prime minister of Great Britain, asks: If we are broke (public dept $ 32 trillion and rising...) how can we make things better without spending money? As money is only one factor to happiness, we have a great opportunity of changing society on scales other than money.

power to the people: We are moving towards the post-bureaucratic era (from local power to central power to power to the people), enabled by sinking cost of communication, information and publication through the internet.

Government services have to adapt by utilizing the channels of the voice of the people, by guaranteeing transparency of their actions through utilizing immediate and cheap publication and by empowering the people themselves to govern their own lives.
