Marxism Today, published between 1957 and 1991, was the theoretical magazine of the Communist Party of Great Britain. [1] The magazine was headquartered in London. [2] It was particularly important during the 1980s under the editorship of Martin Jacques. Through Marxism Today, Jacques is sometimes credited with coining the term " Thatcherism", and believed they were deconstructing the ideology of the government of the-then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, through their theory of New Times. It was also a venue for the influential British cultural studies of Stuart Hall.
It was the standard-bearer for the reformist wing of the CPGB in the years 1977–1991. [3] A special issue was published in 1998, seven years after the magazine's demise. Until 1998, the New Statesman described itself on an inside page as incorporating Marxism Today, among other titles.
