Evidence

Th e industrialists had undergone a transformative psychological shock, and they emerged belligerent. Th ey accused Giolitti’s government of “complete absenteeism and connivance with the violators of the law.” Th ey further lamented that not one soldier or police offi cer was sent to defend “property” and “personal liberty” (Letter of the Turin industrialists to Giolitti, September 10, 1920, in Tasca 1965, 141). — Clara E. Mattei, The Capital Order, 572
