Advancing market democracy
- Developing market-oriented society
Counter claim
- 1. Have we not moved forever from a "market economy" to a "market society"? What can be said and done about the omnipresent atmosphere of competition that has prompted most of our fellow citizens to resign themselves to the constant predominance of a combination of market forces and liberalism?< 2. How can interests of an omnipresent economism (with often vague rules and poorly managed risks) be reconciled with those of a socially responsible economy, which tend to be very different? For example, how can the interests of shareholders, who are concerned solely with returns of their shares, be reconciled with the growing demand for redistribution of wealth in a more caring society?
