economic
freedom
people
in
a democracy
must
have
some
form
of
economic
freedom.
this
means
that
the government
allows
some
private
ownership
of
property
and
businesses,
and
that
the people
are
allowed
to
choose
their own
work
and
labor
unions.
the role
the government
should
play
in
the economy
is
open
to
debate,
but
it
is
generally
accepted
that
free
markets
should
exist
in
a democracy
and
the state
should
not
totally
control
the economy.
some
argue
that
the state
should
play
a stronger
role
in
countries
where
great
inequality
of
wealth
exists
due to
past
discrimination
or
other
unfair
practices.
