In small businesses these valuations comes through loud and clear. In big businesses it is easy to never notice that values have changed until the company suddenly runs out of money and credit. Government never heeds changing valuations. It assumes it can dictate values. Governments would rather destroy an economy than be governed by its changing valuations. It is a matter of sovereignty. This is why little, ineffective governments are best.

Military organizations survive only if they can immediately detect changes on the battle field. Integrity has military value.

Second, I think accountability in large organizations becomes a problem because no one person has final say on any major decisions. Decisions result from broad compromises between numerous inputs. Even in a single organizations, dozens of people, if not hundreds of people contribute to the decisions. The average executive holds any particular office for less than four years. Organizationally failure usually take longer.

Thirdly, an industry failure occurs due to decisions made in many different companies (and the government). People make decisions which work for their individual companies in isolation but in collectively they cause failure. Individual corporate officers can make the best decisions for their own companies but if everyone else makes he same decision for their companies problems ensue.

The problem is even worse in government. Government by design has separation of powers which automatically means diffusion of responsibility. It is not as any particular member of congress is likely to lose their seat over this mess. Worse, the effects of bad decisions do not become widely evident until years later often long after the principles have left office.
