Abstract: Abstract Why do we call the economic system a state intensive economic system, SIM, and not socialist, communist, centrally planned as some others call them? The first chapter reflected on this question. The point is that state settings dominate other settings in this system. State settings in this system are all-political in their behaviour and via their dominance over and interaction with other settings, these latter get reshaped and are ultimately geared towards adopting rent appropriating behaviour typical of intrinsic state settings, organization structures, and coordination mechanisms.
