Alfredo Rocco (1875-1935) was an Italian politician and jurist.
Rocco was born in Naples. Rocco as an economist-minded politician developed the early concept of the economic and political theory of corporatism[1] which, later adapted would become part of the ideology of the National Fascist Party.
Rocco began his political career as a Marxist in the Italian Radical Party but eventually turned to the "proletarian nationalism" of the Italian Nationalist Association (ANI), a political party that he had major influences on. Rocco was critical of Italy's weak material and economic power which he said was responsible for Italian dependence on the European "plutocracies" of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.[2] Rocco also denounced the European powers for imposing foreign culture on Italy and criticized the European powers for endorsing too much individualism.[3] though he later joined the National Fascist Party once they merged, and served as Italy's Minister of Justice for eight years (1925-1932).[4]
