Corporate solidarism is a form of corporatism that advocates creating solidarity in society through functional representation, believing that it was up to the people to end the chronic confrontation between employers and labor unions by creating a single public institution. Solidarism rejects a materialistic approach to social, economic, and political problems, while also rejecting class warfare. It advocated co-operation, brotherhood, Christian tolerance, and charity, and postulated that man was the problem, not the matter.
