“…The focus then turns towards the growing exploitation, impoverishment and punishment of the unemployed in Britain before presenting new empirical evidence of their views towards punitive welfare reforms. The contradiction between their views and experiences we maintain reflects the overall success of a ‘two-nations hegemonic project’ which seeks to regulate the inherent contradictions of capitalist societies by mobilising popular support for policies that are antithetical to the interests of working-class populations (Gallas 2015; Jessop et al 1988; Lavery 2019). This is operationalised by constructing discursive distinctions between ‘productive’ and ‘parasitic’ groups and has been translated into a series of policies to marginalise the manufactured threat of ‘parasitic’ groups.…”

“…Jessop (1990: 211–212) has distinguished between ‘one-nation’ and ‘two-nations’ hegemonic projects. Several academics have applied the concepts of one and two-nations hegemonic projects over the past four decades to make sense of how various political leaderships in Britain have continually legitimised the unstable relations of exploitation and domination intrinsic to the capitalist class system (Gallas 2015; Jessop et al 1988; Lavery 2019). The former aims ‘at an expansive hegemony in which the support of the entire population is mobilised through material concessions and symbolic rewards’ for all sections of the body politic.…”

“…Industrial policy was of a supposedly horizontal nature aimed at improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the overall business environment. Consequently, the resurrection of industrial policy since 2008, specifically the willingness to engage in vertical or selective industrial policies that channel resources towards chosen economic sectors, has been widely interpreted as a novel development in UK economic policymaking, albeit one that is an element of statecraft concocted to camouflage the continuity of neoliberal ideas and the interests and institutions that nourish them (Berry, 2019; Lavery, 2019). This article is sympathetic to this view; however, it argues that selective industrial policy has throughout been an indispensable, if neglected, aspect of the United Kingdom’s neoliberal model (Silverwood and Woodward, 2018).…”
