As you may or may not know, Mussolini is the one who first coined the term Fascism. His writings about Fascism are almost entirely about economics.

Economics heavily influence politics, especially today in the United States. Decisions such as those to go to war, or what energy policy to have, or the environment, or even health care, are almost all driven by corporate interests and not by a desire to do what is best for the people.
