The following argument is worth reflecting upon: is the conception of the gendarme -nightwatchman State (leaving aside the polemical designation: gendarme , nightwatchman, etc.) not in fact the only conception of the State to transcend the purely “economic-corporate” stages? — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 975

Categorization

• QUESTION: Gramsciposes this as a live open question — why would the nightwatchman State be the one to transcend economic-corporatism? Worth chasing how he resolves it.
