Shielding the market from the masses: economic liberalism and the european union In The Anti-Oligarchy Constitution, Joseph Fishkin and William E. Forbath offer a road map for modern-day progressives concerned with ever-increasing economic inequality. The US Constitution does not simply permit wealth redistribution, they argue, it demands it. Fishkin and Forbath seek to revive long-forgotten constitutional discourse that views constraining concentrations of wealth as necessary for the preservation of a democratic republic, which should inform how every provision of the Constitution is interpreted. This is what Fishkin and Forbath describe as the “democracy of opportunity” tradition.
