business pressure in politics  

Definition

  • In any capitalist system the issue of business pressure in politics is central to the viability of the market economy and to the viability of governments as institutions capable of making decisions in the public interest. The issue is particularly pressing in the most important political constellation in the modern world, capitalist democracy; that is, in social systems that claim to combine capitalist economics (allocation through the market and private ownership of productive resources) with democratic government.
