But I would respond that fascism entailed government direction of the economy toward specific ends, while this intervention is not intended to steer the market at all, but only to keep it functioning.Ruben Alvaradohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809244579227094222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229335768675304827.post-39071039944816672512008-10-09T17:56:00.000+02:002008-10-09T17:56:00.000+02:00Wouldn't it be better to term it fascism, for it is the government securing the means of production, while leaving the ownership in the private sector.
