'''Marxism Today''' was the theoretical
journal of the
Communist Party of Great Britain and was dissolved in
1991. It was particularly important during the 1980s under the editorship of
Martin Jacques. Through ''Marxism Today'' Jacques, amongst others, coined the term
Thatcherism and believed they were deconstructing the ideology of the government of the then
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
Margaret Thatcher. It was also a venue for the influential
cultural studies of
Stuart Hall.
A "special issue" was published in
1998, seven years after the journal's demise. Until 1998, the ''
New Statesman'' magazine described itself on an inside page as "incorporating" ''Marxism Today'' (among other titles).
