State Capitalism: Difference between revisions

{{Quote|

quote="The modern state is essentially a capitalist machine. The more it proceeds to the taking over of productive forces, the more does it actually become the national capitalist, the more citizens does it exploit. The workers remain wage-workers — proletarians. The capitalist relation is not done away with. It is, rather, brought to a head."

'''State Capitalism''', or '''Dirigisme''', is an economic system where the state plays an active role in business or commercial activity. This can be direct in the form of state-owned enterprises or companies where the state has controlling shares, in an indirect form of the state planning through government agencies organized along for-profit and business management lines, or through state-sponsored private business activities. If the state owns or controls all the means of production or is the primary shareholder, this is called '''state monopoly capitalism (StateMoCap)'''. State capitalism is usually seen as [[File:Authunity.png]] economically center since it denies the means of production to workers, yet is often collectivist in nature.
