corporatists
Pro-merger ideology adherents
Corporatists advocate for or practice corporatism—a system where economic and political power is organized through major interest groups like business associations, labor unions, and professional bodies rather than through individual citizens or pure market forces.
The term often carries critical connotations, suggesting excessive corporate influence over government policy: The corporatists in Congress care more about their donors than their constituents.
