| '''Free-market democracy''', '''consumer's democracy''', or '''the market's economic democracy''', is an economic state of affairs where the power to dispose of the means of production, belonging to the entrepreneurs and capitalists, can only be acquired by means of the consumers' ballot, held daily in the market-place.<ref name="mises">{{cite book |first=Ludwig |last=Von Mises |author-link=Ludwig von Mises |title=Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis |year=1936 |page=11}}</ref> There is no equality | |||
| of vote in this democracy; some have plural votes. But the greater voting power which the disposal of a greater income implies can only be acquired and maintained by the test of election.

In case of monetary exchange interactions this is sometimes referred to as ]. In these economic systems, in contrast to ] in ], every voter gets to vote at any and all time and for any one willing to accept votes.
