Corporatism, or latter day
capitalism, is a result of trusts and public trading allowing the financial sector to take absolute control of a nation's economy - with the state serving as nothing but a vehicle for their wants, via an established managerial class.
Capitalism = a free market with a small state.
Corporatism = an absolute market with a puppet large state.
Fascism = an
absolute large state with a puppet market.
Communism = an absolute state with no market.
Free trade and private fiat central currency doesn't happen under
mercantilism. Only under corporatism is the
financial sector in a position to truly push the public out of the 'affairs of the state', for good.
