English term or phrase: vulture capitalism
Definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary:
A form of venture capitalism in which aggressive methods are used to buy a distressed business with the intention of selling it at a profit.

Example sentence(s):
  • Vulture capitalism is allowed and facilitated by existing laws and regulations. These need to be changed to restrict private financial gain at the expense of our society and economy. Vulture capitalism is like pollution, it harms the public good while private interests benefit. Lippit's policy and politics blog
  • There are many smart, concrete, not pie-in-the-sky ideas about how we can recalibrate our economy, return it to fairness, how we can reimagine it as one built not on vulture capitalism but on democratic capitalism. The Washington Post
  • Vulture capitalism thrives because public debate so rarely articulates the necessary role of the state to care for the most vulnerable in our midst. The Guardian

predátorský kapitalismus


Definition from Britské listy:
Predátorský kapitalismus = predátorská praxe, kdy větší firmy skupují drobnější krachující firmy.

Example sentence(s):
  • Kniha Velký regres vrací Bártovi a spol. úder. Ukazuje, že predátorský kapitalismus není řešením naší krize, ale naopak její nejhlubší příčinou. - Alarm  
  • Do původně tvrdého racionálního prostředí se začaly vlévat „duše a cit", které pomalu a nenásilně srážejí starý „predátorský kapitalismus" na kolena. Podnikatelům už nestačí jen vydělávat peníze, chtějí za svojí činností také vidět vyšší smysl. - JIC  
  • Predátorský kapitalismus nakonec taky kombinuje kapitalismus a socialismus, ale v tom nejhorším z obou. Vyšší zisky obřích monopolů jsou dotované kolabující střední třídou a začarovaný kruh pokračuje. Země, která dovolí rozvoj predátorského kapitalismu, skončí bez kapitalismu i bez socialismu v jejich zdravé podobě – zato v ní oba systémy budou společně makat na její destrukci. - Finmag
