Zero-sum social policy
Australia’s newly introduced National Disability Insurance Scheme establishes a cash-for-care model that pits the human rights of people with disabilities against the employment rights of care workers, generating a zero-sum game that sees the emergence of gig labour markets, a downward spiral in wages and conditions, and concerns about quality of care. This article introduces the concept of pro-market/gig market to analyze this state-led initiati…
Mel Watkins and the continuing evolution of staples theory
Mel Watkins re-applied the “staples theory” of Canadian economic history, originally proposed by economic historians including Harold Innis in the 1930s, within the increasingly radical discourse of Canadian political economy in the 1960s and 1970s. In so doing, he helped start a new intellectual and political tradition: the “New Canadian Political Economy.” Watkins’ analysis of staples industries remains relevant and influential today, in part b…
'Ilm
In the world’s largest Muslim majority nation, mainstream Indonesian Muslims are \nseeking to deepen their knowledge of Islam. This was initially stimulated by the \ntransnational Islamic revival of the 1970s and strengthened by a concurrent policy of \nIndonesia’s governing New Order regime. That policy restricted public expressions of \nIslam to culture and education and forbade any political expression of the religion. In that \nmilieu, activi…
Regulating work in the gig economy
Paid work associated with digital platform businesses (in taxi, delivery, maintenance and other functions) embodies features which complicate the application of traditional labour regulations and employment standards. This article reviews the extent of this type of work in Australia, and its main characteristics. It then considers the applicability of existing employment regulations to these ‘gig’ jobs, citing both Australian and international le…
The resurgence of gig work
Digital platform businesses primarily utilise on-call contingent workers, using their own tools and equipment, to perform the productive work associated with the supplied service. The expansion of this business model has led some to proclaim that traditional 'jobs' will come to an end. Some welcome this development, others fear its consequences for the stability and quality of work - but most see it as driven primarily by technology, and therefor…
Symposium on heterodox economics and the economic crisis
Global capitalism continues to grapple with the lasting after-effects of the 2008–2009 financial meltdown and worldwide recession, the steepest and most widespread downturn since the Great Depressi
When an Auto Industry Disappears
All three global automakers currently manufacturing vehicles in Australia have announced their total shutdown of operations there by 2017. This shutdown has sparked some fears that Canadian auto manufacturing may follow a similar trajectory. This article reviews the factors contributing to the closures in Australia and considers key structural, economic, and policy differences between the Australian and Canadian cases. The Canadian industry enjoy…
The geography of auto globalization and the politics of auto bailouts
The global financial crisis had dramatic impacts on auto manufacturing worldwide. However, these were felt uniquely severely in North America, largely because of its asymmetric position within the geography of automotive globalization. North American automakers were already fragile due to one-way trade and foreign direct investment inflows. This history also shaped the nature of the North American policy response. Unlike other jurisdictions, Nort…
Staples, Deindustrialization, and Foreign Investment
Jim Stanford notes that various trends from the 1960s to the 1990s suggested that the staples approach required substantial qualification, as the size of Canada’s manufacturing sector grew and the weight of foreign investment diminished. However, the period since 2000 has witnessed major structural regression and Stanford argues that higher-stage export industries, such as manufacturing and tourism, have declined, while the Canadian economy has b…

Globalization and Progressive Economic Policy
The authors of this book challenge mainstream thinking about the nature of globalization. While not hostile to markets per se, they believe that capitalist market processes, left to operate freely, tend to generate injustice, insecurity, instability, and inefficiency. Taking account of the new realities of globalization, this volume explores an unusually wide range of subjects, including trade integration, multinational corporations, labor market…
The Economics of Debt and the Remaking of Canada
Few would disagree with the proposition that public sector debts and deficits have been the dominant public policy issue of the 1990s in Canada, and in most other industrialized economies as well. Business leaders and most of the mass media have focused great attention on the debt and its real or imagined consequences
