Abstract

The chapter surveys forty textbooks of economics and related disciplines published in Italy during fascism. It tries to understand to what extent those textbooks contributed to the regime’s goal of creating the ideal fascist citizen, the so-called homo corporativus. It is argued that, at least in their didactic works, a majority of Italian economists were rather unsupportive of that goal and endorsed corporatist ideas only superficially.
