Przyczynek do dyskusji nad faszystowskim prawem gospodarczym
A Contribution to the Discussion on Commercial Law of Fascist Italy

Summary/Abstract: Italian fascism was not limited only to political issues, but it also covered important socio- -economic problems. The basic element of Italian political doctrine was corporatism, which had a decisive influence on the shape of Italian legislation process in the field of constitutional, administrative, tax, commercial, labor and social security law. Corporate solutions created relations of the individual towards nation and citizen towards the state. From one point of view, the fascist socio-economical program denied the liberal free trade economy, but from the other, it was a counterbalance for a developing social ideology of class conflict, which was proclaimed by the socialists and communists. The idea of fascist corporatism in Italy gave a vision of social peace. It also improved the functioning of the government by subordination of trade unions to the state and by suppressing social divisions on the employer – employee line. The purpose of this study was to present fascist commercial law and it’s importance for economic policy of Mussolini state. The basic legal acts from the period of 1922 till 1939, which are related to fascist economy, were analyzed.
