In the economy, authoritarism appears in the income concentration, salary contention, development of the financial market and capital profit. It can also be seen in the poor rural economy while industrialization is improved with the help of international investment creating, therefore, an external dependence.

Under such conditions large conglomerates of enterprises are formed and that makes private and oligopolic the most profitable sectors of economy. The less profitable and the less competitive sectors as well as those requiring large initial investment are govern ruled. In the cultural life, authoritarism appears in the way the means of communication are controlled and used. Besides the high rates of illeteracy and the bad quality of education there is as oligopolic control of the radio-TV system and the press.
