Fascist corporatism is one we don’t often think about; it fuses business leadership with state leadership. The government ultimately calls the shots and it obviously coordinates firms to work toward government goals, but the key word is “coordinate.” Firms are government-linked and government-directed, but not as a rule government-operated. In a well-run fascist economy, the government can co-opt the private sector to achieve broad government-derived goals, like, say, building an autobahn or wiping out the Jews.
