to help us assess just what to make of these private meetings andrew gavin marshall from the center for research and globalization thanks so much for being with us and are now the latest kind of mainstream excuse for builders are good that these days the media is so invasive that it's really important that leaders of the world and of industry can get together and talk about things without being quoted is that valid fair or unfair how do you read that. the media is. fairly good at the media to invade. in the idea that you shouldn't. going to open discussion among democratic leaders in the democratic country where they able to go industrialism being. king and so it's in secret without anybody knowing that's no democracy. so the idea that that meeting should remain. in the media should. document that meeting. or anything that we shouldn't have democracy if you believe that argument then you don't believe in doing ok along those lines some would argue that you know when there is making a law that's going to go into effect these people have to go back to their country and then go through a democratic
