The Idea
What National Capitalist actually means.
National Capitalism uses state policies to protect and direct key industries in service of national power while maintaining a market economy.
The UAE, particularly Dubai, is a prime example of National Capitalism. While embracing free trade, low taxes, and foreign investment, the ruling monarchy exercises significant control over key industries, labor laws, and political life.
