Which of the following people would be most favored by mussolini's fascist system?

b. farm workers and factory workers

c. labor unions and interest groups

d. owners of steel and iron companies

The correct option is D

The period of Italian history in which the European country was governed by a regime based on the ideology of fascism, which emerged after the First World War, is called fascist. Fascism was born as a reaction of certain dissenting socialists against the Bolshevik Revolution of 1919 and the strong union fights of workers and braceros that culminated in the Red Biennium, partly as a criticism of the liberal-democratic society, which was left battered by the experience of the first World War.

The ideology of fascism attached great importance to extreme nationalism and on the economic plane valued "economic independence", considering Mussolini himself that a powerful state should have an equally powerful economic system, based on industrialization and technology, with a balance of favorable payments, without greater fiscal deficit and, where possible, seek economic autarchy.

d: social contract theory
