Powerful people play at two levels. There is the public interest, the chess game they are playing openly in front of our eyes, and then there is their more murky private interests.The "game" we're not privy to.
This is why what we see is only part of the picture. Politicians are 80% public, 20% private to take the famous Pareto Principle which explains how the 20% of causes creates 80% of the effects and therefore why it is often so difficult to understand what we see.
Let's not even try to understand what truly private group and associations are up to since there business by definition is "conspiracy". A fact which has been known since Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" although he used the example for the opposite purpose, to promote the concept of competition and free market.
