From a www.truthout.com (https://www.truthout.com) article entitled "Democracy and Its Discontents," by Thomas J. Scott:
"Over the past two decades, hyper-individualism has become a cultural value and is now increasingly apparent in public policy debates. Market-oriented policies advocate personal satisfaction over the common good. Voters are behaving more like consumers than citizens and, as a result, corporate influence on public policy has become a more dynamic aspect of the electoral and decision-making process. "
The whole thing . . .
