Agoric is greek for market. As in agoraphobia, which translates to fear of
the market place (but is actually used as fear of wide open spaces).
See http://www.agorics.com/text/agoric.html for a precise definition.
I think what Joe's getting at, is that the MONEY votes. That's where the
democracy comes in.
