Alexander Gallas The Thatcherite Offensive: A Neo Poulantzasian Analysis

for Global Workers Rights in the School of Labor and Employment Relations at The Pennsylvania State University proudly presents Dr. Alexander Gallas speaking on his book on Haymarket Press, The Thatcherite Offensive: A NeoPoulantzasian Analysis, on September 21, 2017. In his book, Alex Gallas provides a classcentered political analysis of Thatcherism. He shows that Thatcherisms success and novelty, indeed its unity as a political project, lay in the fact that the Thatcher governments profoundly shifted class relations in Britain in favor of capital and restructured the institutions underpinning class domination. According to Gallas, it was an integral part of the Thatcherite project to directly intervene in labor relations and smash militant trade unionism.
