While it may preserve the ''appearance'' of ownership, corporatism strips owners of ''control'' of their property, thus stripping "ownership" of meaning. Under fascism, "the state directs and controls" business,<ref>R. E. Pahl and J. T. Winkler, "Corporatism in Britain," in ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=RGpXAAAAMAAJ The Corporate State-Myth or Reality?]'' (London: Centre for Studies in Social Policy, 1976), as cited in Bob Jessop, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=HcxBBhXjAUcC State theory: putting the Capitalist state in its place]'' (Penn State Press, 1990) ISBN 0271007354, p. 133</ref> exercising "absolute authoritarian control of production."<ref>Ludwig Von Mises, ''[http://mises.org/books/plannedchaos.pdf Planned chaos]'' (Ludwig von Mises Institute, 1947) ISBN 1933550600, pp. 3-4, 62-63</ref> As Mussolini put it, "the organiser of the enterprise is responsible to the State for the direction given to production." He demanded "State intervention in economic production" whenever "private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management."<ref>Benito Mussolini, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=zp8TAQAAIAAJ Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions]'' (Rome: 'Ardita' Publishers), pp. 135-136</ref> The state thus becomes the ''de facto'' owner, reducing ''de jure'' owners to bureaucrats, carrying out government orders. Under fascism, the "private employer is retained, but he is stringently regulated by the state," writes progressive writer Roger Shaw. "Communism eliminates the private employer and profit-maker, but Fascism, at least in economic theory, retains him as a slave of the state."<ref>Roger Shaw, "[http://ia600504.us.archive.org/19/items/northamreview238miscrich/northamreview238miscrich.pdf Fascism and the New Deal]," ''The North American Review'', Vol. 238, No. 6 (Dec., 1934), pp. 559-564</ref> It is therefore more accurate to say that "corporatism" means government control of corporations than corporate control of government.
