What Is Fascism and Why?
What Is Fascism and Why? (1931) is a collection of political, economic, and institutional writings edited by Tomaso Sillani, originally published in Italian in 1930 as Lo Stato Mussoliniano e le realizzazioni del fascismo nella nazione. Featuring contributions from prominent Fascist officials and theorists, including Alfredo Rocco and Giuseppe Bottai, the book examines the organization and principles of the Fascist state. It addresses the transformation of Italian political institutions, the corporative system, public finance, agriculture, industry, and the relationship between state authority and national economic life. The work presents a contemporary account and defense of the Fascist regime's doctrine, policies, and institutional development during its first decade in power.
