It is not commerce that needs democracy for its survival, as there has always been commerce before and after any democracy.
It is democracy that needs the state, for its survival and for the survival of democrats. Without democracy, there is commerce, but without the state, there is no democracy.
The future is marked by a market without a state, that is, by commerce without democracy. This is the core imperative of the new globalization.
