The San Francisco Chronicle called him a "rare public figure who deserves to be called a Renaissance man." Main ideas Roemer has mainly focused his work on the economic analysis of the nonmarket forces, i.e. those goods or services that cannot be directly evaluated within the economy notwithstanding they significantly influence the economic system, such as feelings and emotions. Furthermore, he coined the terms "demonocracy" e "ideasta." Demonocracy is the gradual deceit or manipulation of the legitimate leader of a democratic country over the decisions of the citizens to choose and vote, restricting their true freedom and individual rights; it is a failure of democracy: […] (demonocracy, is a term defining any individual or political group that appropriates the power in a legal manner, but in the exercise of its functions gradually eliminates freedom and the true right of citizens to vote). The reform to Article 41 of the Mexican Constitution, Chavez in Venezuela, Correa in Ecuador and Morales in Bolivia, among others, teaches us that a democratic election does not guarantee democratic institutions. Even if the majority elects a government, this is not going to be a democratic one
