Aaj bhi, usi 'Gilded Age' ki tarah, hum ek aisi duniya mein jee rahe hain jahan vyaktigat zimmedari ki naitikta, lalach aur khullam-khulla samajik be-zimmedari ki sanskriti ke sath kandhe se kandha milakar chalti hai. Tab ki tarah aaj bhi, vyapar ne karmachariyon ke prati apni samuhik zimmedari chhod di hai - theek waise hi jaise sarkar ne apne nagrikon ke prati chhod di hai.
Today, as in the Gilded Age, we live in a world where a morality of personal responsibility rubs shoulders with a culture of greed and of flagrant social irresponsibility. Now as then, business has shed its collective responsibility for employees - just as government has for its citizens.

Is sadi mein companiyon aur sarkar ka mel itna badh gaya hai ki loktantrik santulan ka vichar ek khatarnak bharam ban gaya hai - aur ye corporat rahasyavad ke mukhya stambhonn mein se ek hai.
The intertwining of corporations and government has become so extensive in this century that the notion of a democratic balancing act has become a dangerous illusion-and one of the cornerstones of the corporate mystique.

Bure samay mein bhi aur achhe samay mein bhi, amiron ki tarah garib bhi 'Dream Machine' se jude rehte hain.... 1995 tak, lakhon garib rehen-sehan ke sthan, swasthya seva, naukri ya shiksha ke avsaron se vanchit reh gaye; chheh million bache - America mein 6 saal se kam umar ka har chautha bacha - aadhikarikator par garib the. Teesri duniya ki garibi ke halaton mein phanse hue, jabki unhe pehli duniya ke sapnon se video ke zariye lagataar lubhaya ja raha tha, shayad hi kisi abadi ne samajik roop se jagaye gaye armanon aur samajik roop se milne wale avsaron ke beech itna bada fasla jhela hoga.
The poor, no less than the rich, stay tuned in to the Dream Machine in bad times as well as good....By 1995, millions of the poor were left without housing, medical care; jobs, or educational opportunity; six million children-one of every four kids under 6 years of age in America-were officially poor. Mired in Third-World conditions of poverty while video-bombarded with First-World dreams, rarely has a population suffered a greater gap between socially cultivated appetites and socially available opportunities.

Aaj ki vaishvik arthvyavastha ke Upton Sinclair Charles Kernaghan hain, jo New York ke ek aise patrakar hain jo Wal-Mart ke liye Kathie Lee Gifford ke kapde banane wale karkhanon (sweatshops) ka bhandafoh karne ke liye sabse zyada jane jaate hain.... The Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights... karkhanon ke shoshan ko benakab karne, corporat abhiyan chalane, aur kamzor mazdooron ke adhikaaron ke liye ladne mein sabse aage raha hai.
The Upton Sinclair of today's global economy is Charles Kernaghan, the New York based muckraker most famous for his expose of sweatshops producing the Kathie Lee Gifford line of clothing for Wal-Mart.... The Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights... has been a leader in exposing sweatshops, mounting corporate campaigns, and fighting for the rights of vulnerable workers.

Seedhi baat hai, sarkar ki taakat par sachche vishwas ke bina koi jan-prabhutva (popular sovereignty) nahi ho sakta. Agar sarkar jan-zimmedariyon ko nahi uthayegi aur unhe pura nahi karegi, toh companiyon jaisi kam jawabdeh sansthaen apne swarth ke liye ye kaam khud karne lagenge.
Quite simply, there can be no popular sovereignty without a real belief in the value of government. If government does not assume and carry out public responsibilities, less accountable institutions such as the corporation will do the job in their own self-interest.
