>Except that Google’s stock price is both in the hands of its employees and directly benefits its employees. They have a clear stake in it.

Again, the same is true for democratic governments.

How so? What is the measure by which an employee of the government could point to in which improving it directly increases their livelihood? If I’m a Google employee and the way in which Google’s success is defined is Google’s stock price then I have a clear measure AND since my compensation is tied directly to it, if I improve that measure then I get more compensation. Hard for me to see any similar type of link in government.
