Ummm... your definition of "Corporatism" is the same as that of a Mixed Economy. Corporatism is fascism, they are synonymous. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."

- Benito Mussolini

Most people confuse this with socialism, but socialism involves the workers rebelling and taking power into their own hands. Corporatism, on the other hand, is a thing of appeasement to the bourgeois. It is still, however, a form of capitalism, since there still is a private control of the means of production...just the "friends" of the government control it! A good example of this is the president of the FCC, who is a friend of Bush's Secretary of State[I believe, I might be wrong]. Nonetheless, the FCC is in the pocket of Bush.
