Filippo Carli (8 March 1876 – 27 May 1938) was an Italian sociologist and fascist economist. After graduating in law in 1916, he was appointed as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Brescia.[1][2] He retained this post until 1928 meanwhile studying sociology and economic history.[2] He went on to teach at the universities of Cagliari and Pisa.[1]
As an Italian nationalist, Carli opposed both liberalism and socialism, and became a leading theorist of the corporate state with Premesse di economia corporativa (1929) and Le basi storiche e dottrinali dell'economia corporativa (1938).[3][4][5] His son Guido Carli became a prominent Italian banker.[6]
