Happy Birthday, Antonio Gramsci. #OnThisDay in 1891, the Sardinian Marxist was born. From Turin’s workers’ councils to founding the Communist Party of Italy, his Prison Notebooks - written under fascist imprisonment - reshaped Marxist thought on power and hegemony.

Great new article by @gemmagasseau.bsky.social and colleagues, on the IPE of Berlusconism. Of considerable relevance for current debates about neoliberalism and the radical/far-right, both in and beyond Italy. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This is visible also in the most recent developments, with the renewed obsession with competitiveness that is leading to a new wave of deregulation, and the increase in EU-backed military spending (2)

With @gemmagasseau.bsky.social we have a new short piece in Capital & Class, where we analyse continuties and changes in European economic governance. We argue that, despite the changes since the pandemic, EU integration remains centered on neoliberalism (1)

Gemma Gasseau@gemmagasseau.bsky.social · 11mo ago
