Corrosive and constructive capital: a framework for stemming the rising tide of authoritarian capitalism
Corrosive capital comes from autocratic regimes or actors, and it is characterized by opaque transactions, political interference, and long-term economic vulnerabilities that become an enabling environment for corruption and the weakening of institutional control.
In January 2025, we published The Political and Economic Fallout of Selling Monómeros. We now consider it pertinent to update the case study and highlight the importance of identifying the lingering effects of corrosive capital through the Monómeros case in the Colombian economy.
We encourage readers to revisit our original report for our recommendations to the government, civil society, and the private sector on how to strengthen oversight, regulate investment, and improve governance of strategic assets in the future.
This report was written thanks to the sponsorship of the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) within the project Corrosive and Constructive Capital: A Framework for Stemming the Rising Tide of Authoritarian Capitalism.
