This book collects nearly forty years of articles, papers, and newspaper op-eds dealing with some of the most important issues that have affected Canada over the last four decades. The core topics include how to regulate the digital economy, how to overcome inequality, how to build a social economy, and how unions should respond to the ever-changing workplace. Drawing from a career spanning academia, politics, trade unions, and public policy, as well as his tenure as policy director for the federal NDP during its time as the official opposition, the author offers a unique and informed perspective on the policies that have defined modern Canada. For policymakers, activists, and anyone interested in the forces shaping Canada's future, this book is an essential guide to the conversations that have mattered and those that will continue to shape the country in the decades to come.
