"State capitalism" as a book category covers works that examine systems in which the state plays a dominant role in owning, directing, or heavily regulating markets and firms to achieve political, strategic, or developmental goals. Titles in this category include historical and comparative studies of state-owned enterprises and industrial policy, analyses of contemporary examples (e.g., China, Russia, Gulf monarchies), critiques and defenses of state-led economic models, investigations of the interplay between political power and corporate behavior, and case studies of national development, corruption, or cronyism. These books draw on economics, political science, business, and history to explore how governments use market tools for state objectives, what outcomes follow for growth, inequality, and innovation, and the geopolitical implications of state-driven capitalism. Readers can expect both scholarly research and accessible syntheses aimed at policymakers, students, and general readers interested in alternative market models and the politics of economic control.
