Free market proponents have commonly viewed state capitalism with suspicion. However, global trends indicate increasing state intervention in the world economy by both developed and developing economies alike. What are the implications of this for market players and is this development necessarily a net negative for the global economy? We discuss these themes with Adam Dixon, the Adam Smith Chair at Panmure House, a think tank under the Heriott-Watt University.

He's also co-author of the book, The Spectre of State Capitalism.
