To me the most powerful balance of this era is represented by apps like http://buycott.com - consumer activism, being smart about where you spend your money. The potential is huge although awareness and probably cynicism mean it hasn't yet become mainstream.

I don't think we can robustly rely on the whims and trends of consumer groups to safeguard our societies.
This is what public policy, laws, and regulations are supposed to do.
Although I suppose the problem there is that politicians and government offices don't generally seem to be properly incentivized and empowered to solve these long term issues...
