State and capital interdefine through shared mediating logics, not one dominating the other

Evidence

The relative autonomy of state and capital, accordingly, concerns their autonomous logics. These in turn prompt the possibilities of state and capital defining themselves in and through each other, their strategic deployment in relation to each other, their strategic selection of elements from each other necessary for their existence and survival or to craft outcomes each defines in its best interests. But relative autonomy here concerns also the relative “need” to define themselves through - and so by means of the terms ofeach other … Neither economic nor political spheres are inherently privileged, though both at least are necessary, and mutually so. … They are, in short, terms of reasoning - logics - that make it look like they are at one, of a piece, engaged in common projects that are seemingly the product of common sense. People after all don’t live out their economic, political, social, legal, and cultural lives discretely but interactively, in interconstitutive and mutually determining terms. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1672
