  • Corporatists? Are you looking for the word corpocrats or corporatocrats?

    Edit: corporatocracy is a government ran by corporate business interests, such as we see in the US.

    Corporatism is a governance principle that government is a meeting ground for “corporate groups” to make decisions. Corporate groups represent a group of people, typically business leaders but also unions.

    In a fascist corporatist state like Mussolini’s Italy this meant keeping business and union leaders close to keep a close eye on them for greater control. In a social corporatist state like Sweden, this means those same leaders have a legally mandated place in the government to get the benefits of capitalist growth tempered by the demands of common workers to receive a fair share of that growth and ensure safe working/living conditions.

    I don’t think the powers that be in the US want unions anywhere close to the government, so I don’t think corporatist is the right term.
