Rewind: Alexander Gallas on the Thatcherite offensive

PTO has now been going for more than seven years and some of the
earlier episodes unfortunately have truly abysmal audio quality -
because of the podcasting technology of the time. But, thanks to
the wonders of audio editing software in 2025, it's been possible
to quite significantly improve the sound quality of those episodes,
and so in the coming months there will be a few interviews from the
archives appearing in your feed.  In the following interview -
recorded six years ago - Alexander Gallas talks about the extent of
popular support for the Thatcherite project and about the debates
of the 1980s between Stuart Hall and Bob Jessop regarding how to
characterise Thatcherite hegemony. Alexander is the author of 'The
Thatcherite Offensive: A Neo-Poulantzasian Analysis'.
