Corporatism

Organizes society into industry and professional bodies that bargain with the state, an idea found in Catholic social teaching and in several authoritarian regimes.

Associated with: Salazar’s Portugal, Mussolini’s Italy, Austria’s social partnership.

Corporatism sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and leaning authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly institutional on institutions, leaning authoritarian on liberty and authority and leaning nationalist on nation.
