The Italian Marxist Gramsci was interested in the ways in which the values and interests of the capitalist class came to be accepted by the whole of society. He argued that the power of a capitalist class was greatest where its economic dominance was matched by political and cultural dominance. When a ruling class dominated all spheres of a society in this way, Gramsci said that they had ‘hegemonic’ power. 821
