这句陈词滥调并不完全正确：信息本身并不是力量。但这是行使政治和经济权力的必要的第一步。开放信息流会改变谁能做什么。这就是为什么在当今世界上，没有什么斗争比谁知道什么的斗争更重要。但关于透明度和信息获取的争论不仅仅是一场权力斗争。这也是一场关于透明度有什么好处以及何时保密可能更好地服务于公共利益的思想之战。这不是琐碎或《双城之战》的辩论。支持和反对透明度的论点反映了从村庄到全球机构等各个层面的民主、善治、经济效率和社会正义的本质等基本问题。这场辩论在一定程度上被概括为相互竞争的词汇：“透明度”和“知情权”与“隐私”和“国家安全”。从市政府办公室到公司董事会会议室，它出现在一系列小规模冲突中
The cliché is not quite right: information by itself is not power. But it is an essential first step in the exercise of political and economic power. Opening up flows of information changes who can do what. That is why there are few more important struggles in the world today than the battle over who gets to know what. But the debate over transparency and access to information is more than a power struggle. It is also a war of ideas about what transparency is good for and when secrecy may better serve the public interest. This is no trivial or arcane debate. The arguments for and against transparency reflect fundamental issues about the nature of democracy, good governance, economic efficiency, and social justice, at levels ranging from villages to global institutions. The debate is encapsulated in part in competing words: “transparency” and “the right to know” versus “privacy” and “national security.” It is showing up in a host of skirmishes, in arenas ranging from the offices of municipal governments to corporate boardrooms Introduction
