Corporatism is the essential economic part of Fascism. It's one of the things that keeps us apart from the National Socialists.

Basically, all companies of a specific trade get together to make descisions- much like a guild. The State serves as a mediator. If one company gets out of control, the State may intervene. This way, business can better serve the nation and make sure that the needs of the State and nation are put before the wants of businessmen. Corporatism is a prime example of the Third Position- alternatives to the materialistic systems of capitalism and socialism.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not an economy buff), but I did some reading, and I came to the conclusion that corporatism is perhaps not the right term. Because the correct translation of the Italian word corporazioni would be guilds, so the correct translation would be guild system instead of corporatism. And if you compare the corporatism of Mussolini with some classical medieval guild systems, you see that corporatism is a large scale guild system. If you look at the Germanic languages English and Dutch, the word corporation (Dutch: corporatie) is kind of synonymous to enterprise/business. So my guess is corporatism might perhaps not be the right term, but it should be debated before drawing any final conclusion imho.

In a Corporatist system, the state runs organizations called Corporations for all major industries. All major companies in these industries are required to have membership. In Corporation meetings, issues are brought up and discussed over what is best for the nation. If one company goes off and does what's in it's own best interests like in the Capitalist system, it can be stopped because the Corporations are state owned. The system was quite a success in Italy.

Needless to say, such a system requires considerable coercive power. No way most companies will comply otherwise. Companies are founded by those seeking self enrichment.

Exactly. Well many companies. Some companies are created and operated by individuals simply wanting to be their own boss. These kinds of businesses are often small as the owner has little ambition.
