[edit]"In short, democratic capitalism is a market-based economy that bends to the will (i.e., regulation) of a majority." Let's be realistic: Between the market and the will of the majority lies ideology, and ideology lies. The phrase inside quotation marks above is biased. Ideology (= what society is led to believe) determines the will of the majority (yeah, your beliefs govern your choices) in its decisions regarding the market, and the owners of the market (the ones with the means) determine the ideology, in great measure. This is clear. Now, then, who "bends" the market in reality? THINK ABOUT IT! --> Especially when we see how the GWB administration managed to make a tax exemption on the very rich. He ACTUALLY MANAGED to do this in a democratic system. This is a great example of what I mean to say. Frankly, I wouldn't want the "democratic capitalism" article to be changed, as it is still another example of what I mean to say. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.44.136.103 (talk • contribs) Dec 2004 (UTC)
Additions
[edit]This article needs a complete history section, detailing some of the main intellectuals behind the idea. It could also use a "modern" section demonstrating how Democratic Capitalism is implemented in societies today.http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Mercado-NJITWILL
Contradictory/unsourced claims on the history of the ideology
[edit]It seems contradictory to me to claim that democratic capitalist ideology "has been in existence since medieval times" then, in the next sentence, that it "is based firmly on the principles of liberalism and Whig historiography" which are themselves much more recent ideas stemming from the enlightenment.
