State Capitalism

"Not to be confused with Capitalist Communism and Dengism."

State Capitalism (StateCap) is an economic system in which the state takes an active role in commercial activity through; either through the use of state-owned or state-managed for-profit enterprises, or acting as a guiding hand in markets. State capitalism can be partial or full, the latter of which is called state monopoly capitalism (StateMoCap). State capitalism has been classified as both economically right-wing (as the means of production don't belong to the working class) and left-wing (as it is collectivist in nature), and therefore in practice is often considered economically centrist.

History
State Capitalism is not a formal ideology with unifying theory, nor was it used in a self descriptive term. State Capitalism is believed by some to have first been used and coined, by Friedrich Engels, in his and  Marx's book "Socialism: Utopic and Scientific". It was later on also used by many Anarchists,  Left Communists, and  Council Communists, in criticism of the  USSR.

Modern use of the term usually refers to the economic system adopted by the "Four Asian Tigers" and Japan in the second half of the 20th century, where it was successful in rapidly industrialising and modernising those economies.

Beliefs
State Capitalism can take on many forms, both theoretical and material, as it did historically.
 * Industries being ran as private enterprises with the State being the primary or sole shareholder.
 * State direction or control of investment, either indirectly (e.g., contracts) or directly (like sovereign wealth funds).
 * "Privatization" of the State so it operates as a single economic monopoly.
 * Implementing decentral or central planning while maintaining private resource ownership and markets.
 * A strong, for-profit public sector co-exists and/or competes with the private sector.
 * Any combination of these.
