Oh bullshit. Governance can absolutely compel industry to reform.

    And political movements can undo government reforms, as we’re seeing right now.

    Government reforms are still more effective than anything else we've tried. By focusing on individual reform, you're playing right into the hands of the 1%. There's even a book about it!

    You can’t enact government reforms without winning an election, and to do that you need to convince individual voters. But then if you enact your reforms without a strong mandate, those reforms will be gone next election.

    Anyway, that book is about nudge theory which is NOT what I’m arguing for. I already knew that bit of pop psychology was BS years ago.
