"Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State."

Sound familiar to you, isolationist?

What happened when public/private partnerships were used in Brazil:

The Lula da Silva government did experiment with some refinements on Cardoso’s model, including creating public-private partnerships to allow strategic businesses to borrow money for long-term investment at more favorable terms. But this kind of change could have only long-term effects, and even then it is doubtful that government selection of investment priorities is better than leaving them to the market. Government control of credit creates opportunities for corruption, when business leaders give kickbacks to politicians to obtain favored treatment.
