The political and social elites who form governments may have a "l'etat c'est moi" attitude, but their interests do not always coincide with the best interests of the majority of citizens.

Exactly. In the podcast, KMO quotes Pres. Obama on the TPP, noting he says the TPP will allow "us" to "win" against "them" and "others." Given the actual bias the TPP seems to have toward corporations and against governmental redress, it's a fair question to ask who the President meant by those quoted words.

Are "us" the US citizens, or US corporations? Are "them" the workers in other countries, or in our own? And how much pain will all this winning inflict on the US and others?
