How did Mussolini deal with Italy's economic crisis?

Answer 1

The power sharing arrangement that the fascist had in the Italian governments in the 1920s helped to prepare some of its members to handle parts of the economy well when the global depression hit. The investment in what we call "infrastructure" was an appropriate public use of money. The modernization of healthcare in the 1930s put many women through medical schools so they could staff the village and town clinics built as part of the public works program. These useful public works and the hydroelectric plants created to power the "re-birth" of the Roman Empire under Mussolini and his fascist technocrats planned to build and rule. The move towards autarky in the 1930s was a wasteful and foolish plan to be self-sufficient in a way that Italy never was during the actual era of the Roman Empire.

So while the public health and the infrastructure spending was appropriate and helpful to Italian society, war and autarky were economically disastrous distortions of a nationalist economic system. The disaster that was the "struggle for wheat" and the "struggle for iron" and entry into war on the side of Germany sank the Italian economy. Ultimately Mussolini's will to create a self-sufficient militaristic state trumped the good of an advanced public health system and an advanced public building program that relieved the effects of the great depression and provided a modern road system that aided commerce.

In balance the modernization of the Italian economy .in the 1920s-1930s under the fascist leadership of Mussolini accomplished the task that other European nations and the United States accomplished in the 1910s through progressive and socialist governments. The corporatist state under the "progressive" fascists was similar to the accomplishments of the pro-business associationalist Republicans of the 1920s US. The public spending of the fascists in the 1930s was more targeted and less restricted than the moderate governments of Great Britain, France and the United States. There were admirers of Mussolini's control of the labor unions in many countries from Argentina, Brazil and China to the United Kingdom and the United State,s where the Luce family's publishing empire promoted Italian style fascism and the corporatist state for "getting the trains to run on time." It was a high price to pay, switching from inefficient, elected, representative government to a fascist dictator just to crush the labor unions, but members of the upper class in the US and UK were interested in the idea. Fortunately the public in those countries were not interested in making a switch to Italian fascism.
