“While US President Donald Trump has embraced some elements of the free-market doctrine that dominated economic policymaking over the last century, he has also pursued an unprecedented level of state intervention in the US economy. With Trump’s “pay-to-play” approach to economic management seemingly combining the worst of both worlds, we asked *PS* commentators how it might transform American capitalism.”

Trump is a “f you, I got/get mine” capitalist. State capitalism implies benefit to the state and its people.

Not only did conservatives vote for the largest tax increase in history, they also got full blown central planning. I can not think of a more beautiful stroke of irony.

Trump is a fascist.
Are there examples of the term ‘state capitalism’ used outside of the major one, which is nominally Marxist-Leninist-Maoist?

Isn’t partial control of public corporations by the State a defining aspect of Socilism?
There is no economics concept I know of where the Federal Government owning being called Capitalism.

Every capitalist is a state capitalist if there is a money to be earned from state, and an ardent supporter of laissez-faire when it comes to taxes or any oversight.
