LittleSis

LittleSis (the opposite of Big Brother) is a free wiki database detailing the connections between powerful people and organizations. The site functions like an involuntary facebook of powerful people, collaboratively edited by a community of researchers. It brings transparency to influential social networks by tracking the key relationships of business leaders, politicians, lobbyists, financiers, and their affiliated institutions.

Eyes on the Ties

Eyes on the Ties is the online news site of Public Accountability Initiative & LittleSis. We publish material that relates to our mission of bringing more transparency to the role that corporate power plays in shaping public policy. In addition to a steady stream of our latest findings on corruption and cronyism at the intersection of business and politics, we also post material that connects broadly to the topic of power research: interviews with muckrakers and organizers, reports on actions and trainings, and sketches and reflections on power research in history.
