De lijst brengt zo de gevestigde orde in beeld, de schaduwmacht van notabelen die, zoals een ingewijde het eens uitdrukte, aan invloed zouden verliezen als ze minister werden.

Een aantal mensen wordt om praktische redenen uitgesloten van de ranglijst. Nee. Het computermodel heeft beperkingen, zoals elk systeem. Morrill Land-Grant Acts.

Conflict of interest

Therefore, a conflict of interest can be discovered and voluntarily defused before any corruption occurs. A widely used definition is: "A conflict of interest is a set of circumstances that creates a risk that professional judgement or actions regarding a primary interest will be unduly influenced by a secondary interest. "[1] Primary interest refers to the principal goals of the profession or activity, such as the protection of clients, the health of patients, the integrity of research, and the duties of public office. Secondary interest includes not only financial gain but also such motives as the desire for professional advancement and the wish to do favours for family and friends, but conflict of interest rules usually focus on financial relationships because they are relatively more objective, fungible, and quantifiable.
