Etatist (from French): statist, in the sense of an advocate of, or tendency toward, the concentration of all economic controls and planning in the hands of the government. Statism appears in two forms: socialism and interventionism. Both have in common the goal of subordinating the individual unconditionally to the state, the social apparatus of compulsion and coercion.[1]
