Stuart Hall provides analyses of national and global upheavals, as well as the accompanying political and cultural changes. Thatcherism was one of the first national projects of the right to overcome Fordism while simultaneously renewing capitalism. Globalization, neoliberalism, and transnational production are key terms that followed, culminating in declining union power, increased flexibility and precarization of the labor market, and the resurgence of international capital. What needs to be done in phases of such transformative necessity, so that emancipatory development opportunities can act as an active political force, can be seen as a common thread throughout this volume. A key concept that Hall works with here is populism. He examines it as a phenomenon in mass democracy and distinguishes between different forms.
