State capture

The metaphor of a revolving door has been used to describe people switching jobs, from working as lawmakers, to being lobbyists, and vice versa.

State capture is a type of systemic political corruption in which private interests significantly influence a state's decision-making processes to their own advantage.

It is often a result of lobbying and revolving door politics where people who work within corporates that dominate specific industries often end up working in government. Often the larger industries hold more power over governments than the smaller ones.
