The author of that essay basically shoots himself in the foot in relation to democrats:

"While they value many personal liberties, they have no great attachment to forms of freedom that involve buying, selling, trading and accumulating. Those, after all, can involve selfishness, and Democrats, like Republicans, don't want to protect selfishness."

That's right. The democrats do cherish the right of the constitution. ALL OF THEM. But they definitely do not think that the market is a right, and don't have to, because they are not rights in the constitution. Instead, the democrats quite rightly associate the buying, trading, and selling of labour as the primary reason for poverty.
