State capitalism (also known as planned capitalism) is a variant of the capitalist mode of production in which the majority of the means of production is controlled by the state under a bourgeois dictatorship. State capitalist countries also typically utilise a planned economy; however this planned economy is directed towards the benefit of the bourgeoisie and not suiting the needs of the proletariat. Examples of a state capitalist economy include Nazi Germany, the Republic of Korea before market reforms, and Singapore.
