Usage Note

Intervencionista is invariable for gender (el Estado intervencionista, la política intervencionista) because it ends in -ista. It describes a stance that favours state or external intervention in markets, conflicts, or affairs. As a noun it also means 'an interventionist person or faction.' In economic debates, intervencionismo (interventionism) is the corresponding noun, and it often contrasts with liberalismo de mercado.
