Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, written between 1929 and 1935, are the work of one of the most original thinkers in twentieth century Europe. Gramsci has had a profound influence on debates about the relationship between politics and culture. His complex and fruitful approach to questions of ideology, power and change remains crucial for critical theory. This volume was the first selection published from the Notebooks to be made available in Britain, and was originally published in the early 1970s. It contains the most important of Gramsci's notebooks, including the texts of The Modern Prince, and Americanism and Fordism, and extensive notes on the state and civil society, Italian history and the role of intellectuals. 'Far the best informative apparatus available to any foreign language readership of Gramsci.' Perry Anderson, New Left Review 'A model of scholarship' New Statesmanread more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a particular discourse of sustainability has become a common-sense, shortcircuiting critical analysis and understanding of policy options, which encourages the presumption that educational programmes and movements which have died out were unsustainable, bound to fail, and even responsible for their own demise.

TL;DR: The importance of moral and intellectual suasion in matters of governance is readily conceded on theoretical grounds as an implicit tactical maneuver in the consolidation of power as mentioned in this paper, but the precise mode and process by which cultural domination is ensured is less open to scrutiny as historically documented fact.
