Labor ideology and economic development in the peronist epoch

An attempt to evaluate the econ implications of laborism & to examine the contradictions between income policies (distribution) & the goals of ED. Peronism is taken as a test case. Discussed are the distribution of income, the movement of wages, laborism & ED, & labor policy & left-fascism. Implications for future res are noted. An attempt is also made to diff'iate between various extremist responses, such as communism & fascism, & cliff types of elites, such as those of F. Castro, Peron, Varga, Sukarno, etc. The work of several authors is reviewed, & it is suggested that the concept of fascism in general needs further study & that if left-fascism represents a modern form of fascism in the less developed countries, then a systematic analysis of Peron's labor policy may be useful for constructing a typology of extremist & authoritarian systems. The pattern of industr relations under differing forms of extremism is an important area for future res. A Bibliog. A. Peskin.
