Gramsci was the one to come up the the idea behind hegemony. msci wasconcerned to eradicate economic determinism from Marxism and to develop its explanatory power with respect to superstructural institutions.
- Class struggle must always involve ideas and ideologies, ideas that would make the revolution and also that would prevent it.
- He stressed the role performed by human agency in historical change: economic crises by themselves would not subvert capitalism.
- Gramsci was more "dialectic" than "deterministic": he tried to build a theory which recognised the autonomy, independence and importance of culture and ideology.
