#Revolving-Door

A term describing how bureaucrats and politicians dance back and forth between regulators and industry in a brisk choreography of public and private interests. Disguising itself as impartiality, it really just keeps the revolving chamber of privileges and special deals spinning endlessly. On the industry side, they await the next round of musical chairs; on the public side, they greet the returning compatriots as if no conflict existed. The creak of the revolving door tells the tale of transparency as a fiction.
