In this book, Nancy Fraser expands on Gramsci’s writing about hegemony (the book’s title is borrowed from the well known Gramsci quote, too).

Trumpism, she argues, is the most visible symptom of a deeper hegemonic crisis. The public faith in society’s core assumptions is unraveling. The broad postwar/post-Civil Rights consensus about how society should apportion respect and distribute resources is coming apart. “Now is the time of monsters.”
