In a mixed / hybrid economic system, both state and private companies operate in the production and sale of goods and services. State action occurs through state-owned companies in strategic sectors, such as oil production, while private production occurs in the most diverse types of markets. It is noteworthy that in a mixed or hybrid economy, the state also acts as a regulator of productive activity in the private sphere, in order to ensure that the economic environment is suitable for transactions. Most capitalist economies are considered hybrid economies, including the US.
