Mercato mondiale, Stato-nazione, nazionalismo economico in Gramsci Proposte per una rilettura

This article intends to reconsider Gramsci’s thought about the connection between (capitalist) world market and nation-state, by paying attention to the issue of economic nationalism. It is argued that Gramsci, in his Prison Notebooks, outlined a more complex and dialectical vision of the economic nationalism, as a vehicle of relatively innovative instances in a framework of creative preservation of the bourgeois hegemony. This result is based on a rethinking of the relation between industry and territory, on a concept of the national economy as a ‘distinction’ of the world economy and on the translatability between integral State and determined market.
