Stephen McBride Knihy

The book explores the rise of populism in recent history, exemplified by events like Trump's election and Brexit, highlighting the economic alienation felt by many. Stephen McBride examines the evolution of Canadian employment policy since the 1970s, analyzing the interplay between social and economic factors, education, labor importation, and union decline. He challenges the notion of being "stuck" in the current system, advocating for proactive political alternatives that prioritize citizens' rights over international capital interests.

The book is both timely and sorely needed. There is simply nothing like it. A brilliant and surprisingly clear analysis of the theory and practice of Canadian politics in the current conjuncture of capitalist development, the authors provide an exceptionally clear and most useful exposition of the forces at play, arising out of the propensity of capitalism towards crisis.

Purchase for Profit will be important for those studying public policy in any of the areas in which public-private partnerships are now being adopted.

Overcoming crises and forging alternatives is the most pressing issue of our times. In this book, Stephen McBride explores the multiple crises defining neoliberalism, identifying the linkages between them, and argues for radical solutions to revive our increasingly dystopian political and economic world.
