Capitalism should be gratefull for Democracy.

Capitalism should be grateful for Democracy, but Democracy does not necessarily have to be grateful for Capitalism. Of course, if both systems work together, then both systems can be grateful for each other. Capitalism can only flourish in a Democratic society. But, a Democratic system should be able to flourish where there is Freedom and Equality in the Social. In a Top heavy system of Government, the power is allocated at the Top and the Bottom becomes somewhat inconsequential. Of course, there are many gradations of political organization, where the Power at the Top is variously allocated. However, in a Democracy the Power is also at the Top of Government, but it is 'granted' to the Top by the Bottom, or, stated differently, by the 'Many individuals' at the Bottom. Power is flexible in a Democracy, whereas; in an Autocracy, the Power is all at the Top, and remains at the Top, until, and if there is ever, a change in the form of Government. Many gradations of Autocracy exist; just as there are many gradations of Democracy. Nevertheless, Democracy is a Government "of the People", "by the People", and "for the People". In a Democracy, Power for the use of Government is an Institutional 'grant' to the Office-holders, and only for a duration. Capitalism can only flourish in a Democracy. Democracy could never flourish in a Capitalistic form of Government, or, stated differently, in a Plutocracy.
