Democracy and Capitalism Democracy and Capitalism Democracy is the process by which we get ourselves organized to perform capitalism.
Capitalism is today's version of the what and democracy is the how .
The what and the how collaborate to an extent, then battle each other. Democracy and capitalism are like a lion and a bull pulling a sled together. The bond holding the substantive in balance to the procedural is always a fragile one. In our system of laws, this balance creates justice. Our most thoughtful judges know what the public does not, that substantive without procedural justice, for example, the lynching of a guilty man, is not justice.
