See how Italy compares →

Jailed by Mussolini, he wrote the Prison Notebooks, developing the idea of cultural hegemony: that ruling classes hold power by winning consent through culture as well as force.

Antonio Gramsci sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: strongly state-led and slightly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly state-led on economy, strongly secular on religion and strongly anti-establishment on institutions. The profile is close to the middle on environment.
