Lo Stato (Italian: The State) was a monthly political and finance magazine which existed in the Fascist Italy between 1930 and 1943. Its subtitle was Rivista di scienze politiche e giuridiche.[1][2]

History and profile

[edit]

Lo Stato was started in Rome in 1930.[3] Its founders were Ettore Rosboch and Carlo Costamagna.[4] Of them the former was a leading economist.[2] The magazine was published first bimonthly, but from 1931 its frequency was switched to monthly.[1]

Its major contributors were the Italian economists, including Celestino Arena, Gino Arias, Gino Borgatta, Giuseppe Bottai, Gustavo Del Vecchio, Giuseppe Ugo Papi and Franco Modigliani.[3] Lo Stato defined fascism as a dictatorship and totalitarian regime which was superior than both liberalism and communism.[2] Contributors of the magazine, particularly Carl Schmitt, provided a theory of the totalitarian state.[2]

Lo Stato folded in 1943.[3]
