Making the Fascist State

By Herbert W Schneider

"Making the Fascist State" provides a comprehensive and analytical examination of the philosophical and political foundations of the Italian Fascist movement during its formative years. This scholarly work delves into the complex transformation of Italy from a liberal state into a corporate and totalitarian regime. The book explores the intellectual roots of Fascism, tracing its evolution from syndicalism, nationalism, and the aftermath of World War I to the consolidation of power under Benito Mussolini.

Herbert W. Schneider offers detailed insights into the structural reforms of the Italian government, the creation of the Fascist Grand Council, and the development of social institutions designed to unify the nation under a single ideology. By examining the interplay between theory and practice, "Making the Fascist State" serves as a vital resource for understanding the origins of twentieth-century authoritarianism and the socio-political dynamics that reshaped modern Europe. It remains a significant historical study for those interested in political science, European history, and the mechanics of ideological state-building.
