Abstract
The author analyses the latest developments in liberal democracy and capitalist economy on the examples of the works of Erich Weede and Klaus von Beyme. The tendency of alleviating economic and political competition is corroborated by means of the analysis of the phenomenon of a multiparty state and today's capitalist economy which has been increasingly relying on the rent-generated income rather than on market competition. The author highlights the new strategies for the legitimation of liberal democracy by means of justice, as developed by John Rawls.
