Mussolini, like many leaders at this time, believed that economies did not operate constructively without supervision by the government.

Mussolini also eliminated the ability of business to make independent decisions: the government controlled all prices and wages, and firms in any industry could be forced into a cartel when the majority voted for it. The well-connected heads of big business had a hand in making policy, but most smaller businessmen were effectively turned into state employees contending with corrupt bureaucracies.

I know it isn't Wiki but try to expand your limited mind. So whether you want to believe the truth or not, Mussolini has more in common with YOU and your DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Now accept those facts or show me proof of Mussolini deregulating markets and cutting taxes

First steps[edit]

The Fascist government began its reign in an insecure position. Coming to power in 1922, after the March on Rome, it was a minority government until the 1923 Acerbo Law and the 1924 elections, and it took until 1925, after the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, to establish itself securely as a dictatorship.

Economic policy in the first few years was largely classical liberal, with the Ministry of Finance controlled by the old liberal Alberto De Stefani. The government undertook a low-key laissez-faire program — the tax system was restructured (February 1925 law, 23 June 1927 decree-law, etc.), there were attempts to attract foreign investment and establish trade agreements, efforts were made to balance the budget and cut subsidies. The 10% tax on capital invested in banking and industrial sectors was repealed, while the tax on directors and administrators of anonymous companies (SA) was cut down by half. All foreign capital was exonerated of taxes, while the luxury tax was also repealed.[2] Mussolini also opposed municipalization of enterprises.[2]

The 19 April 1923 law transferred life insurance to private enterprise, repealing the 1912 law which had created a State Institute for insurances and which had envisioned to give a state monopoly ten years later.[3] Furthermore, a 19 November 1922 decree suppressed the Commission on War Profits, while the 20 August 1923 law suppressed the inheritance tax inside the family circle.[2]

There was a general emphasis on what has been called productivism — national economic growth as a means of social regeneration and wider assertion of national importance.

Up until 1925 the country enjoyed modest growth but structural weaknesses increased inflation and the currency slowly fell (1922 L90 to £1, 1925 L145 to £1). In 1925 there was a great increase in speculation and short runs against the lira. The levels of capital movement became so great the government attempted to intervene. De Stefani was sacked, his program side-tracked, and the Fascist government became more involved in the economy in step with the increased security of their power.

In 1925, the Italian state abandoned its monopoly on telephones' infrastructure, while the state production of matches was handed over to a private "Consortium of matches' productors.[3]"

Furthermore, various banking and industrial companies were financially supported by the state. One of Mussolini's first act was to fund the metallurgical trust Ansaldo to the height of 400 millions Lire. Following the deflation crisis which started in 1926, banks such as the Banco di Roma, the Banco di Napoli or the Banco di Sicilia were also assisted by the state.[4] In 1924, the Unione Radiofonica Italiana (URI) was formed by private entrepreneurs and part of the Marconi group, and granted the same year a monopoly of radio broadcasts. URI became the RAI after the war.

When Mussolini began to make his mark in economics in the mid 1920s, he was luckily blessed. The economy in the early years of Fascism developed positively for many different factors. Laissez-faire policies were introduced which favoured industrialists by letting them take their own courses, paying workers the minimum wage with little government intervention. In addition, a future Socialist revolution had vanished and there was no threat from the PSI, meaning the confidence of the economic elite rose. Another reason why the early economy improved was because trade unions began to weaken and worker organisations began to collapse. There was also a general European economic recovery. Alberto de Stefani was put in charge in 1922, by Mussolini, as an Economics professor. While de Stefani was in charge he was characterised by his Laissez-faire ideas. Taxes on war profits were reduced and the industrialists were pleased. After 1925 de Stefani was dismissed and the one-party state was created. Financer and Industrialist Count Volpi replaced de Stefani and Mussolini stated the new economic structures were accomplished within Italy. However, Confindustria: the Italian Employer’s Federation made sure the industry’s interests were protected. Early economics were very successful for industrialists, but not for the workers. However, these were the early economics of Fascist Italy. Mussolini’s real economic intellect was to be shown in his economic battles.
 
these other sources say he same thing


why do you hate a great place for information like wiki?


because you need lies
 
Which again doesn't make clear that the government plan controlled the companies, the best example of something like Mussolini's plan is the ACA.
 
They weren't socialist, but they weren't even close to an economic conservative. The government segmented and controlled the markets, free markets were a nonsense term under fascism. They were told how much to make, when to make it, and what to sell it for. Like Obamacare...
