Presents Gramsci’s framework of hegemony, contrasting the war of manoeuvre with the war of position, and illustrates practice through the “free trade” narrative.

\nCore Insight:The ruling class maintainscontrol by ensuring its moral,intellectual,and cultural values permeate society,becoming the ‘common sense'for everyone.This consent is fragile and must

\nWilliams developed cultural materialism,viewing culturenot just as art and learning,but as a 'whole way of life'.It includes everyday practices,beliefs,and values.  \n# Key Insight\n\nCulture is
