From today’s Investors’ Business Daily editorial page:
The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital and “rigidly secular” schools.
Unlike the Communists, the Fascists did not seek government ownership of the means of production. They just wanted the government to call the shots as to how businesses would be run. They were for “industrial policy,” long before liberals coined that phrase in the U.S.
Indeed, the whole fascist economic agenda bears a remarkable resemblance to what liberals would later advocate. (emphasis added)
