Interesting thoughts on politics from Eric Schmidt in this Q&A.
“From a governance perspective, if you take the prospective that every bureaucracy should publish what it is doing and try to justify and listen to it’s customers and be forced at least to account for what they did in a way that is public and reproducible and measurable, that will go a long way.” -Eric Schmidt
