Il corporativismo negli studi ferraresi

During the fascist dictatorship, the theme of corporatism tooks on a particular importance in consideration of the fact that the corporate strategy reaffirmed the idea of a system based on the elimination of class conflict as a programmatic aim of fascism. In the articulated debate that, since the twenties, helped to get corporatism out of some conceptual misconceptions that had distinguished the development, the contribution of Ferrara and its scholars was not marginal, and the contribution of a group of intellectuals able to maintain a certain autonomy of judgment, was an honest contribution, which succeeded in supporting the insertion of pluralistic dynamics in the decision-making process of the fascist State. In this context, the role of the university of Ferrara and the presence of a review as "Nuovi Problemi", contributed to building humus for a fervid and available environment to host a cultural comparison of high scientific level.
