Morton, Adam David, Unravelling Gramsci: hegemony and passive revolution in the global political economy; London; Ann Arbor, MI: Pluto Press, 2007, xv, 254

Gramsci is still known best for his work and concept of Hegemony. This work contributes to a better theoretical and practical understanding of the Gramscian concept of hegemony: i.e. stresses the structural influence of the cultural sphere thereby refining the traditional Marxist world view that has historically looked at the economic sphere. Adam Morton makes extensive use of Gramsci's writings, including his much-overlooked pre-prison journalism, prison letters, as well as his prison notebooks, to provide a fresh approach to understanding both Gramsci and the current neoliberal world order. Morton examines Gramsci's contemporary relevance, and argues that themes of hegemony, passive revolution and uneven development provide a useful way of analysing the contemporary global political economy. Unravelling Gramsci in such a way, he also demonstrates the theoretical and practical limitations of how Grasmci's ideas can be used today, offering a broad insight into state formation and the international factors shaping hegemony within a capitalist framework.
