The Labour Charter of 1927
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Charter of Labour of 1927 was one of the main pieces of legislation Mussolini, the Italian Fascist dictator from 1922-43, introduced in his attempts to modernise the Italian economy. The Charter declared private enterprise to be the most efficient, thus helping Mussolini to confirm the support of the rich industrialists who were the initial backers of Fascism. The Charter not only assisted the situation of the rich in Italian society, but also helped the workers by confirming their rights. In the end, this legislation was more about Mussolini keeping his own personal power than improving the lives of the people of Italy because, in its effects, it was practically useless.
