Abstract
Prior to the Asian financial crisis, the cozy relationships between corporations,
governments, and banks were seen as a potent force for economic growth and
development. In this article we examine the institution of crony capitalism. Under
conditions in which the Second Welfare Theorem does not hold, there is a role for
government. Some governmental institutions do encourage more risky, high-payoff
entrepreneurial activities. Our aim is to examine crony capitalism as a potential source
of government activity that enhances economic productivity. In addition, we explore
the conditions under which the government activity can instigate a financial crisis.
