One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy is a 2000 book by historian and author Thomas Frank. It was published by Anchor Books. The book traces the development of what Frank calls "market populism: the idea that markets are a far more democratic form of organization than democratically elected governments." He also discusses many facets of the New Economy, "culture studs," and internet brokerages. An excerpt of the book was the cover story of the October 12, 2000 issue of The Nation. It was reviewed in The American Prospect on December 18, 2000, in The New York Times on December 21, 2000.
One topic that Frank devotes considerable page space to is television commercials, especially those for brokerages and mutual funds. He cites many examples of corporations being compared to rock stars, the civil rights movement and the French Revolution and God.
Frank discusses the Beardstown Ladies, an informal investment group comprising elderly women from Beardstown, Illinois. He covers their usage by the media to promote the idea (mostly fallacious, in Frank's estimation) that Average Joe Americans were just as good, if not better than professionals at picking stocks.

Economic democracy
Economic democracy or stakeholder democracy is a socioeconomic philosophy that proposes to shift decision-making power from corporate managers and corporate shareholders to a larger group of public stakeholders that includes workers, customers, suppliers, neighbors and the broader public. No single definition or approach encompasses economic democracy, but most proponents claim that modern property relations externalize costs, subordinate the general well-being to private profit, and deny the polity a democratic voice in economic policy decisions. In addition to these moral concerns, economic democracy makes practical claims, such as that it can compensate for capitalism's inherent effective demand gap.
Classical liberals argue that ownership and control over the means of production belongs to private firms and can only be sustained by means of consumer choice, exercised daily in the marketplace. "The capitalistic social order", they claim, therefore, "is an economic democracy in the strictest sense of the word". Critics of this claim point out that consumers only vote on the value of the product when they make a purchase; they are not participating in the management of firms, or voting on how the profits are to be used.

wn.com/Radical Imagination Imagining Economic Democracy (Richard Wolff Stephanie Kelton)
According to a Pew Research Center report published earlier this month, the middle class represents less than half of the population and no longer dominates America. How can government rebalance the economy to favor the working class once again?
This Sunday on The Radical Imagination; host Jim Vrettos, a sociology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice; sits down with guests, Richard Wolff and Stephanie Kelton, to discuss the idea of economic democracy.
In a thought-provoking debate, the two economic scholars will give insight into the current state of the United States economy and offer strategies for promoting a more inclusive system that levels the playing field between private and public stakeholders.
Dr. Wolff is a visiting economics professor in international affairs graduate program at The New School, founder of Democracy at Work and host of the Economic Update radio show.
Dr. Kelton is the Chief Economist on the U.S. Senate Budget Committee, the Chief Economic Advisor to presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, and an economics professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Firehouse TV’s “The Radical Imagination” airs every Sunday at 8:00 pm on MNN1 (TWC 34 & 1995, RCN 82, FiOS 33 or streaming live) and repeats every Thursday at 8:00 pm on MNN4 (FiOS 36, RCN 85, TWC 67 & 1998 or streaming live).

One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy is a 2000 book by historian and author Thomas Frank. It was published by Anchor Books. The book traces the development of what Frank calls "market populism: the idea that markets are a far more democratic form of organization than democratically elected governments." He also discusses many facets of the New Economy, "culture studs," and internet brokerages. An excerpt of the book was the cover story of the October 12, 2000 issue of The Nation. It was reviewed in The American Prospect on December 18, 2000, in The New York Times on December 21, 2000.
One topic that Frank devotes considerable page space to is television commercials, especially those for brokerages and mutual funds. He cites many examples of corporations being compared to rock stars, the civil rights movement and the French Revolution and God.
Frank discusses the Beardstown Ladies, an informal investment group comprising elderly women from Beardstown, Illinois. He covers their usage by the media to promote the idea (mostly fallacious, in Frank's estimation) that Average Joe Americans were just as good, if not better than professionals at picking stocks.
