The Rise of State Capitalism with Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra

🏛️ Is the era of free-market capitalism ending? 🌍

From Intel's government stake to China's reassertion of state control, governments worldwide are increasingly intervening in markets through ownership, mandates, and ideological influence. For multinational corporations, navigating this shift requires new skills in political strategy and stakeholder management.

🎯 How state capitalism differs from free markets and communism 🏢 Why governments use prices, mandates, and ownership to control economies 💼 National champions and sovereign wealth funds as instruments of state power 🌐 How multinationals should adapt when competing against state-owned firms

💡 Whether you're a business executive, policy analyst, or student of international business, this episode reveals how the pendulum is swinging back toward government intervention and what companies must do to succeed in this new reality.
