State Capitalism or Crony Capitalism?

Schumpter @theeconomist argues that State owned enterprises that own significant portions of many of the major companies in their country have found ways to continue to survive and even grow. Schumpter, referencing a new book “Reinventing State Capitalism” says that even though China and Russia own approximately 60% and 35% of their respective stock market capitalizations, some of the new State Owned Enterprises in some ways resemble private sector firms.
