how on earth could market liberalism be underrepresented in American politics when it is so popular with billionaires?

  Perhaps it isn't as popular as some tropes would suggest. Those who would buy influence would prefer state interventions in the market to benefit their interests, rather than an open playing field. The best way to sell those interventions to the public might be appeals towards "fairness" and the aforementioned tropes.

    are you saying capitalism doesn’t favor capitalists?

      I'm happy to elaborate if you can be more precise with your question.

        It sounded like you were saying regulatory capture is better than an open market for established players, but I’m saying I think when you hold all the cards being allowed to do whatever you want is even better.
