"A classic collection by one of Britain's most radical cultural commentators, as vital today as it was in 1988. Stuart Hall was an insightful critic of the Thatcher era. In these influential essays, he reflects on Thatcher's rise to power and its impact, historical events reverberating still in today's politics. Hall shows how Thatcher exploited discontent with the Labour Party and with aspects of the welfare state to devise a potent authoritarian, populist ideology. His analysis covers the formation of the SDP, the inner city riots, the Falklands War and the signficance of Antonio Gramsci, as well as much else. He shows how Thatcherism skillfully employed the restless and individualistic dynamic of consumer capitalism to promote a swingeing programme of 'regressive modernization', the legacy of which continues to haunt us."--Back cover
