Sociologist: Some economists hold that unregulated markets should accompany democratic sovereignty because they let people vote with their money. But this view ignores the crucial distinction between the private consumer and the public citizen. In the marketplace the question is, "What do I want? " At the voting booth the question is always, "What do we want? " Hence, supporters of political democracy can also support marketplace regulation. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion drawn by the sociologist?
A: Voters think of themselves as members of a community, rather than as isolated individuals.
B: Opposition to unregulated markets is consistent with support for democracy.
C: Where there is democratic sovereignty there should be unregulated markets.
D: Unregulated markets are incompatible with democratic sovereignty.
