>capitalism is the dominant business engine in the country,

The government _mandates_ that certain services be used. In which world does this rhyme with "capitalism"?

I said _crony_ capitalism is the dominant business engine in the country.

The govt mandated services are owned by private capital(hence the capitalism part) and govt picks winners by granting licenses to a select few(hence the crony prefix)

Any world where sufficiently wealthy capitalists can bend the govt to their will, i.e., most of them.
