A bigger consumer class will obviously consume more resources and employment ensures people have money to spend. These two together increase consumer spending and hence drives the economy and state spending.

For example: An increase in Urban population will increase the need of infrastructure, food, healthcare facilities, etc. and thus will increase the need of human resource creating jobs. These people will earn and spend thus driving economy. These people will save also...thus giving money back to banks. Banks give this money to industry in form of loans.

How did Mussolini deal with Italy's economic crisis?

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.

Why is the economy so bad?

ANSWER:Banks Greediness.

The economy is bad because Americans produce few things that are consumed either by Americans or the rest of the world. We import much more than we export. The reasons for this and the problems it causes are discussed in a series of articles. Please see the related links below.

The basis of the problem revolves around the banks. When you receive a loan from the bank for a house, many times you are not paying the money back to the bank. Banks can sell the loan to a third party for a little less than what they would be getting if they kept the loan and received the interest. This works in favor of both the bank and the third party because the bank gets instant money, and the third party uses this as an investment. The problem with this is the bank still decides who to give loans to, but has much less incentive to ensure the loan will be paid back. (they are just going to sell the loan to someone else anyway, so why do they care if it can be paid back or not?) The problems this has caused are ridiculous. Now that the banks have caused this problem for themselves, they are now not giving loans. The feds gave them money to stimulate loaning, but now they just sit on the money because the economy is so bad.

BANKS ARE NOT LENDING!!!!

When banks don't lend business can't stay in business and new businesses can't be made. Which means no jobs or lost jobs. People can refinance homes with money back to spend and buy things and pay off debts.

With a slow economy businesses have to use most of their profit from sales to pay bills. A $10K loan to a business can buy product, after a couple months the product is sold for $15-25K. Now there is money to pay back the loan with the interest. The profits are used to rebuy the stock and sold again with no debt. Employees keep their jobs, the business where the products are bought makes good money to keep their employees and the economy is good. But only payday loans are lending at a 250% interest rate. Because banks are not lending businesses are desperate to stay in business. So a lot take it. How can that be paid back. They don't even make that much back on sales.

But now Banks don't lend, they want to say "not credit worthy". I know lots of people out there who can't get loans on good and great credit. The banks priority right now is to pay the government back to get them out of their business. They are going to continue to not lend after they pay the government back. Back to GREED above.

If the banks took the time to approve more loans you would see the economy improve immediatly! That is why they got the help in the first place because the government knew this was important to the growth of the economy. Until they start lending the economy will not get better.
