The article is devoted to the ratio of market forces and government regulation and its impact on the political system of society. The author defines the main directions of theoretical analysis of policies increased state intervention and historical factors that lead to the strengthening of the role of business and market relations. The author believes that in today’s world, despite globalization more correct to speak about the role and boundaries of the state in the economy and society, not at all, and based on the specific socio-economic and political situation in a country, its traditions, societal expectations prevailing political sentiments, and given the challenges facing the country. An important role is played by the specific arrangement of social and political forces in the country and not least those that mobilized businesses. Meanwhile, based on the experience of the US and Western Europe, the author concludes that the government is not specific business or unconditional.  I can not say that any of the models of business relationships and government leads or does not lead to the dominance of business, and that business is definitely more powerful structure than the state or other interest groups. Not correct to assert that business has every chance to win the political game, and opponents are doomed to lose, especially in the context of globalization and the development of global civil of society. In business, as there is no sufficient reason to believe that after socialism in Eastern Europe retreated, it is absolutely protected from new political challenges.
