Maybe we have a different definition of corporatism because none of your points have anything to do with it.
Regulation allows Company A to influence the government to implement regulation that favours Company A and hinders Company B or individuals X.
Now perhaps regulation is required to a certain extent (especially with regards to the environment) but many of the potential issues are already covered by criminal law. What is certain is that without regulation, corporatism would become very difficult.
- Anechoic 13y agoRegulation allows Company A to influence the government to implement regulation "Regulation" doesn't allow Company A to influence the government, the First Amendment allows Company A to influence the government. In your statement, regulation is the effect, not the cause.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> "Regulation" doesn't allow Company A to influence the government Depends on the content of the regulation. Regulation that gives particular companies special voices on public policy does, in fact, give "Company A" a special ability to influence the government to implement policy in a way detrimental to competing "Company B" that is not granted a similar voice. There's quite a lot of regulation that does this in one form or another (usually, with safeguards that notionally serve to avoid abuse, but there is plenty of room for debate about how well those safeguards work.)
