Neo-Corporatism!


The pluralist system allows for multiple interest groups to compete for influence in several policy domains, meaning that there can be a great number of groups. While this may seem like the best approach, especially in a democratic society, there can only be so many influential interest groups before things start to get hectic. The government will eventually become biased towards the most beneficial and influential interest groups, leaving the ones with less money and other constraints to fall behind. Because of this, neo-corporatism is a more efficient relationship between interest groups and the government because it allows for more of a focus on certain groups who are expressing interests to develop certain policies. A side of neo-corporatism is an income policy, which would help control inflation, which is very important for a well-functioning country. Pluralism allows for too many groups all fighting over certain policies while neo-corporatism would allow peak groups to use most of their energy actually accomplishing something.
