Jürgen Habermas on Interventionism - Dictionary of Arguments

IV 505
Interventionism/Habermas: if one assumes several subsystems, a single economic crisis theory proves to be insufficient. Economic imbalances can be balanced by the state jumping into the function gaps in the market.
>State
, >Markets, >Interventions, >Crises.
However, the substitution of market functions by state functions is subject to the fundamental investment sovereignty of private companies. Otherwise, economic growth will lose its capitalist momentum and the economy will lose its primacy. Therefore, state intervention must not affect the division of labour between the market-dependent economy and an economically unproductive state.

Dimensions: Securing the conditions for the production method: military and legal-institutional interventions.
Economic influence
Infrastructure policy: aims at the conditions for the realisation of capital.
In all of them, state intervention retains the indirect form of manipulation of boundary conditions of private corporate decisions and the reactive form of avoiding or compensating for side effects.
Problem: Crisis tendencies are not only handled administratively, but unintentionally shifted to the administrative action system. There they can take various forms: e.g. as conflicts between economic and infrastructure policy objectives, as over-utilisation of time as a resource (national debt), as excessive demands on bureaucratic planning capacities, etc. This in turn can lead to relief strategies with the aim of shifting the problem burden back to the economic system.(1)
