Capitalism and democracy have been often viewed as complementary systems. However, the concentration of wealth and power, growing inequality, and corruption associated with capitalism can pose significant threats to democratic principles. The state can play a vital role in protecting democracy from the threats of capitalism by regulating the economy, strengthening democratic institutions, and promoting civic education. Similarly, individuals can also contribute to protecting democracy by engaging in activism, promoting transparency and accountability, and supporting policies that reduce inequality and promote social justice.
