The CCCS ’s collectively authored book Policing the Crisis (published in 1978; see chapter 12 of this volume) had identified race as a defining feature of the increasingly conservative form of authoritarian populism developed by Margaret Thatcher. Stuart then coined the term “Thatcherism” in a prescient article, “The Great Moving Right Show,” in Marxism Today (included in this collection, chapter 13 ) in January 1979, some months before Thatcher herself was elected. 36 Up until then, she had been patronized by many on the Left as an insignificant, shrill-sounding housewifely voice espousing an anachronistic form of old-fashioned domestic moralism. However, Stuart recognized her as a person who, in Hegel’s terms, constituted a historic individual—whose politics instantiated, in personal form, and served to crystalize much wider social and political forces that were already in play. To this extent, he rightly recognized that Thatcherism might be able to redefine the public mood, and appeal to the disaffected, through its appeal on moral and cultural grounds that had previously not been considered as part of the political agenda. Thus he argued for the necessity of a corresponding cultural struggle against Thatcherism, and his great regret, twenty years later, in the run-up to the 1997 general election was that Thatcherite arguments, philosophies, and priorities still defined the agenda on which New Labor founded its own appeal. 37 A further decade and a half on, one of his last published works, “After Neoliberalism: Analysing the Present” (jointly written with his longtime Soundings coeditors Doreen Massey and Michael Rustin), once again focused on these same themes, in the attempt to articulate a form of political opposition to the international hegemony of neoliberalism that avoided a return to fundamentalist Leftism. 38
