English term or phrase: vulture capitalism
Definition from Merriam-Webster dictionary:
A form of venture capitalism in which aggressive methods are used to buy a distressed business with the intention of selling it at a profit.

Example sentence(s):

Vulture capitalism is like pollution, it harms the public good while private interests benefit. Lippit's policy and politics blog
  • There are many smart, concrete, not pie-in-the-sky ideas about how we can recalibrate our economy, return it to fairness, how we can reimagine it as one built not on vulture capitalism but on democratic capitalism. The Washington Post
  • Vulture capitalism thrives because public debate so rarely articulates the necessary role of the state to care for the most vulnerable in our midst. The Guardian

Kapitalisme pemakan bangkai


Definition from own experience or research:
Praktik pembelian bisnis dengan harga murah untuk dijual lagi dengan harga yang lebih tinggi.

Example sentence(s):
  • Namun, perusahaan ventura telah kembali--mereka selalu kembali--dan sekali lagi melakukan jenis usaha yang membuat mereka dijuluki kapitalis pemakan bangkai. - The ABC's of Writing Winning Business 
  • Pasar menjadi ganas, bahkan sering disebut tempat berkeliarannya para "pemakan bangkai" (vulture capitalism). - Krisis Finansial 
  • Sandi sangat mudah digambarkan sebagai vulture capitalist atau kapitalis pemakan bangkai, karena hobinya mencari perusahaan-perusahan sakit, beli murah, perbaiki sedikit hingga harga baik, dan jual kembali ratusan kali lipat harga beli. - Geotimes  

Explanation:
Istilah ini sepertinya belum memiliki padanan baku dalam bahasa Indonesia. Namun, beberapa penulis dan penerjemah menyandingkan istilah "vulture capitalist", pelaku "vulture capitalism", sebagai "kapitalis pemakan bangkai".

July Susanto, pengalih bahasa The ABC's of Writing Winning Business yang versi terjemahannya diterbitkan oleh Penerbit PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama, mengalihkan istilah "vulture capitalist" menjadi kapitalis "pemakan bangkai". Prasetyantoko, penulis buku Krisis Finansial dalam Perangkap Neoliberalisme yang diterbitkan oleh Penerbit Buku Kompas (2009), menulis "pemakan bangkai" dan menyandingkannya dengan "vulture capitalism". Made Supriatma juga pernah menulis frasa "kapitalis pemakan bangkai" untuk menjelaskan istilah "vulture capitalist" di kolom opini Geotimes

Dengan meminjam teknik penyandingan tersebut, "vulture capitalism" dapat dipadankan dengan "kapitalisme pemakan bangkai".
