Resumo

A democracia liberal está em crise? A pergunta acima norteia a presente reflexão, que se desdobra em dois momentos, com o intuito de verificar como andam as duas âncoras da democracia liberal: o mercado e a representação política. Vamos indicar que a separação entre democracia e mercado poderia restabelecer a política como instrumento de decisão, o que também poderia fortalecer as instâncias de representação. Em linhas gerais, a presente reflexão analisa algumas teorias democráticas desenvolvidas no final do século XX e no início do século XXI, com o intuito de verificar em que medida ainda podem ajudar a compreender o cenário atual.
