Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to public office without regard for their qualifications.
However, there is often no clear line to denote when an appointment constitutes "cronyism." It is not at all unusual for a person of substantial political experience to surround himself with highly qualified individuals and to develop friendships, leading to the appointment of the friends to office or the obtaining of contracts.
Examples of cronyism can be found in a number of current and former communist states.
"Cronycapitalism" or "crapitalism" is a pejorative term describing a capitalist economy in which success in business depends on an extremely close relationship between the businessman and the state institutions of politics and government, rather than by the espoused "equitable" concepts of the free market, open competition, and economic liberalism.
Cronycapitalism arises when politicalcronyism spills over into the world of business, and the relationships between powerful businessmen and powerful politicians form a kind of aristocratic social hierarchy, influenced by self-serving friendships and family ties, to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals.
Capitalists generally respond that governmental favours are incompatible with true capitalism, that so-called "cronycapitalism" is in fact the result of an excess of socialist-style interference in the market, which requires active corporate lobbying to reduce red tape.
