# Antonio Gramsci

> He wrote his most influential work from a prison cell - more than 30 notebooks, 3,000 pages theorizing how power works not through force but through culture. His idea of "cultural hegemony" reframed how the ruling class holds control, and made him one of the most-cited thinkers in 20th-century political theory.

## Bio

Antonio Francesco Gramsci was born in Italy on 22 January 1891. A Marxist philosopher and journalist, he became a founding member and one-time leader of the Italian Communist Party. A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini and fascism, he was imprisoned in 1926. Over the next eleven years, until shortly before his death on 27 April 1937, he filled more than 30 notebooks with history and analysis - drawing from Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Hegel, Freud, and others far beyond orthodox Marxism. The Prison Notebooks ranged across Italian nationalism, the French Revolution, folklore, religion, Taylorism, Fordism, and the mechanics of civil society. He developed a humanistic Marxism, a philosophy of praxis that broke from economic determinism, and his theory that the bourgeoisie maintains power through ideology rather than violence has outlasted the cell that held him.
