I’d say it boils down to the following: - humans can be selfish, or not - humans are powering businesses and gouvernement bodies controlling them, so both can think long-term, global benefits or short term, own-benefits - hence the need for control and/or transparency on decision making, whether it is a private company or a government body - we all know the fiduciary duty of a CEO ; I’m wondering whether some kind of « long-term good » duty also exists for CEO or political deciders, making them accountable of the long-term consequences of their choices.

Our economy and politics are indeed favoring short-term gains by design and that is « simply » what should be controlled to a certain extent. Not easy as this should be a global move, otherwise the long-term advocates are likely to be outperformed by their short-term competitors and not have the time to implement fully their strategies.
