Public private trust

A Public Private Trust originates through a variation of state capitalism where shares of stock from corporations are exchanged for state subsidies. However, unlike state capitalism the shares acquired through the exchange are relinquished by the state into private Individual Retirement Accounts of its citizens, through a one time egalitarian distribution for collective ownership.
The value of each citizen's fractional share is directly tied to the corporate title and to the portion of shares exchanged. Individuals may sell or heir their fractional shares, although a deferred period may be required for their sale.
A premise for the policy is that public ownership and state-owned enterprise are deemed formal communism, and all forms of bureaucratic collectivism are rejected.
Origin and reason
The rational for the public private trust, in mixed economies or planned economies, is that state subsidies to corporations represent an unjust social system of special endowments, through taxpayer funds, which establish disproportionate and prejudicial benefits for the owners or principle share holders of private enterprise.
Further, it is reasoned that special endowments are self serving to politicians and lead to crony capitalism and plutocracy, even as attention is redirected to delivery of jobs and tax revenue as justification.
It is reasoned that egalitarianism and special endowments represent opposing social systems and an attempt is offered to dissuade and highlight the proposed unjust policies for corporate welfare through an application of the proposed unjust policies for social welfare.
Economic Development
Advocates seek long term vested interests in a planned economy, through neomercantile policies, and through a technocratic analysis of production futures.
Proponents seek the formation of a pharmaceutical manufacturing that is acquired in part or whole through a public private trust, which provides a staple of prescription medications, such as those for diabetes, and blood pressure, etc., which are out of patent and in common use.
Proponents seek the formation of domestic alternative energy manufacturing that is acquired in part or whole through a public private trust, which provides alternative energy methods, including deployment and residuals from energy production, such as wind turbines, offshore tide generators, solar panels, or nuclear energy.
Proponents contend that the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, which implemented the Troubled Asset Relief Program or "TARP" and was signed into law by George Bush on October 3, 2008. after the Financial crisis of 2007-2010, would have more greatly served justice if banks were given an option of exchanging stock shares for cash infusions, that would have been transferred through a public private trust, or have been allowed to fail.
State Capitalism And Mixed Economy
State capitalism has various different meanings, but is usually described as a society wherein the productive forces that are controlled and directed by the state in a capitalist manner, even if such a society calls itself socialist. Corporatized government agencies and states that own controlling shares of publicly-listed firms, thus acting as a capitalist itself, are two examples of state capitalism. State capitalism has also come to refer to an economic system where the means of production are privately-owned and the state exerts considerable control over the allocation of credit and investment.
Common Ownership Versus Collective Ownership
In political philosophy, common ownership refers to joint or collective ownership by all individuals in society. Common ownership of the means of production is advocated, or asserted, by communism and some forms of socialism. Common ownership differs from collective ownership. The former means property open for access to anyone, and the latter means property owned jointly by agreement. Examples of collective ownership include modern forms of corporate ownership as well as producer cooperatives, which are in contrast to forms of common ownership, such as a public park available to everyone.
