Actitud del Estado de intervenir en el libre funcionamiento del mercado planificando y corrigiendo ciertas tendencias para dirigir la economía del país según una determinada política. 3, record 2, Spanish, - intervencionismo
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
El término es lo suficientemente amplio para incluir tanto la regulación y control de los mercados como la participación directa en la actividad económica. Desde un punto de vista teórico puede afirmarse que en toda sociedad moderna existe algún tipo de intervención estatal en la economía : todos los gobiernos proveen algunos bienes públicos y regulan, mediante leyes y decretos, ciertos aspectos de la actividad económica. Por ello se habla de intervencionismo sólo cuando la acción del Estado supera ciertos límites. Cuando casi toda la actividad económica de una nación es dirigida y llevada a cabo por el Estado, en cambio, no se habla ya de intervención : en este caso se está ante una economía planificada, de tipo socialista [...] 2, record 2, Spanish, - intervencionismo
