== Economic statism == [[Economic statism]] promotes the view that the state has a major, necessary and legitimate role in directing the major aspects of the [[economy]], either directly through [[State-owned enterprise|state-owned enterprises]] and [[economic planning]] of production, or indirectly through [[economic interventionism]] and macro-economic regulation.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Jones |first=R. J. Barry |date=2001 |title=Statism |encyclopedia=Routledge Encyclopedia of International Political Economy |edition=1st |volume=3 |location=New York City, New York |publisher=[[Taylor & Francis]]}}</ref> === State capitalism === {{main|State capitalism}} State capitalism is a form of capitalism that features high concentrations of state-owned commercial enterprises or state direction of an economy based on the accumulation of capital, wage labor and market allocation. In some cases, state capitalism refers to economic policies such as [[dirigisme]], which existed in [[France]] during the second half of the 20th century and to the present-day economies of the [[People's Republic of China]] and [[Singapore]], where the government owns controlling shares in [[Public company|publicly traded companies]].<ref name="Leviathan in Business: Varieties of State Capitalism and Their Implications for Economic Performance, 2012">{{cite book |last=Musacchio |first=Aldo |date=2012 |title=Leviathan in Business: Varieties of State Capitalism and Their Implications for Economic Performance}}</ref> Some authors also define the former economies of the [[Eastern Bloc]] and [[Soviet Union]] as constituting a form of state capitalism. === State corporatism === {{main|Corporate statism}} State corporatism, corporate statism or simply "corporatism" is a political culture and a form of corporatism whose proposers affirm or believe that corporate groups should form the basis of society and the state. This principle requires that all citizens belong to one of the various officially designated interest groups (usually on the basis of the economic sector), the state also has great control over its citizens. === State interventionism === {{main|State interventionism}} The term statism is sometimes used to refer to [[Market economy|market economies]] with large amounts of government intervention, regulation or influence over markets. Market economies that feature high degrees of intervention are sometimes referred to as "[[Mixed economy|mixed economies]]". [[Economic interventionism]] asserts that the state has a legitimate or necessary role within the framework of a [[Capitalism|capitalist economy]] by intervening in markets, regulating against overreaches of [[private sector]] industry and either providing or subsidizing goods and services not adequately produced by the market. === State socialism === {{main|State socialism}} State socialism broadly refers to forms of [[socialism]] based on [[State-owned enterprise|state ownership]] of the means of production and state-directed allocation of resources. It is often used in reference to [[Soviet-type economic planning|Soviet-type economic systems]] of former [[communist state]]s and, by extension, those of [[North Korea]], [[Cuba]], and the [[China|People's Republic of China]]. Politically, state socialism is often used to designate any socialist political ideology or movement that advocates for the use of state power for the construction of socialism, or to the belief that the state must be appropriated and used to ensure the success of a [[Revolutionary socialism|socialist revolution]]. It is usually used in reference to [[Marxist–Leninist]] socialists who champion a [[one-party state]]. Critics of state socialism argue that its known manifestations in Soviet-model states are merely forms of [[state capitalism]],<ref>{{cite book |last=Michie |first=Jonathan |title=Reader's Guide to the Social Sciences |publisher=[[Routledge]] |date=January 1, 2001 |isbn=978-1579580919 |page=1595 |quote=State capitalism has inconsistently been used as a synonym for 'state socialism', although neither phrase has a stable denotation.}}</ref> claiming that the Soviet model of economics was based upon a process of state-directed [[capital accumulation]] and social hierarchy.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-first=Bertrand |editor1-last=Badie |editor1-link=Bertrand Badie |editor2-first=Dirk |editor2-last=Berg-Schlosser |editor2-link=Dirk Berg-Schlosser |editor3-first=Leonardo |editor3-last=Morlino |editor3-link=Leonardo Morlino |title=International Encyclopedia of Political Science |publisher=[[SAGE Publications]] |year=2011 |isbn=978-1412959636 |page=2459 |quote=The repressive state apparatus is in fact acting as an instrument of state capitalism to carry out the process of capital accumulation through forcible extraction of surplus from the working class and peasantry.}}</ref>
