When an 'Economy' takes over a 'Democracy', Freedom and Equality 'go out the window.'

When an 'Economy'takes over a Democracy, Freedom and Equality of the Individual, goes out the window. Individuals no longer 'count' in the 'act of Governing'. Economies are driven by 'profits' and 'Largeness'. Economies are quantified and hence can be measured as to 'a large economy', a 'successful economy', etc., and the 'end goal' always seems to be 'more and more of the same', or Profits. The 'Governed' and the Freedom and Equality of the real Individual becomes 'secondary' and only the 'movements of money' become important. As a result, the 'corporate society', and its Capitalistic motor becomes the 'primary concern'. Real Democracy becomes weak an effete and 'legal fictions' become the 'dominant factors' of success or failure, in the 'substituted' act of Government. The 1% overwhelms the 99% and the 'real' Individuals are reduced to 'living in Alice in Wonderland'. The 'real' becomes artificial and the artificial, becomes 'real'. How sad. Capitalism becomes 'dominant' in a Nation that recognizes and respects 'Freedom and Equality' of the Individual, but then, 'greed' monopolizes the 'corporate society' and renders humanity 'inconsequential'. In a real Democracy, the Freedom and equality of the real Individual is controlling. The economy is also important but assumes it proper place in economic institutions and remains aloof of Government. The economy remains an important factor in the Society, but it does not assume primary importance in the act of Governing. An economy cannot Govern; as a Government cannot produce Profits, or, 'more and more of the same'. In other words, a democratic Government has 'an economy', but, 'an economy' can never 'govern' a 'Democratic Government'. A Democratic Government 'protects and defends' the Freedom and Equality of every Individual.
