TheEconomic Party (Partito Economico, PE) was an Italian political party founded in 1919 inTurin by a group of dealers and industrialists worried by theRed Biennium. The group viewed politics as subject to economic science, and was socially conservative.[1]
The PE had its strongest constituencies in the larger cities ofNorthern Italy, as well as inSicily, reaping benefits from its alliance with theAgrarian Party. In the1919 general election, it received 1,5% of the vote and 7 seats. This support declined rapidly: in the1921 election, the PE took 0,8% of the vote and 5 seats. It subsequently merged into the Agrarian Party.
