Gramsci

In his Prison Notebooks, Antonio Gramsci, languishing in Mussolini’s fascist jail, wrote that “the crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear”.

Today, more than a century later, “morbid symptoms” are acutely present in our society. Rather than a cause for despair, this is a challenge to all those confronting the system on every continent to create practical pathways to the new.
