Description
State Capitalism: Why SOEs Matter and the Challenges They Face is a comprehensive examination of state-owned enterprises and their pivotal role in contemporary economics. Lalita Som delves into the mechanisms of state capitalism, analyzing how governments leverage SOEs as instruments of economic policy and development.
The book addresses fundamental questions about the effectiveness of state intervention in markets, the governance structures that support SOEs, and the competitive pressures they face in global markets. Som explores real-world case studies and economic theory to illustrate why these organizations remain significant despite ongoing debates about market efficiency and privatization.
Readers will gain valuable understanding of the tensions between profit motives and public interest, the challenges of maintaining transparency and accountability, and the role of SOEs in emerging economies. This work is essential for policymakers, economists, business professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of state involvement and capitalism in the modern world.
