| Descripción: | In this paper we wish to reflect on theoretical controversies that have arisen around the concepts of political democracy and the free market system or, if one wishes, between a State based on the rule of law and capitalism. Our objective is to show that the relationships between these concepts and notions are much more complex and contradictory than suggested by the way that it has been narrated over the last two hundred years. Indeed, theorists of economic liberalism consistently wished to establish that a genuine political democracy could only occur wherever a liberal economic order prevailed. We must challenge this axiom and even inquire into the likely fundamental incompatibility between a completely deregulated free market system and an essentially democratic political regime. |
