Abstract

In an analogy between politics and markets, democracy can be described as a power market whose main reason is to prevent concentration in the hands of vested interests. However, political markets can be captured by producers (politicians, the media, think tanks, and lobbyists), to the detriment of consumers (voters). Pippa Catterall writes that rising bonuses at a time of rising prices and falling real wages are indicative of how much markets have been distorted in favour of a distinctive form of producer capture.
