C. B. Macpherson and Democracy Today
This article examines the political thought of C. B. Macpherson and highlights its value in the current era in which democracy is under siege. It focuses on Macpherson’s signal concept of possessive individualism, and explores the trajectory of his treatment of liberal democracy over time to show his continuing relevance for democratic theory and practice. Both dimensions are linked to the historical vicissitudes and contradictions of liberalism.…
Critical Theory, Democracy, and the Challenge of Neoliberalism
Using ideas derived from the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, this book develops key elements of a radical theory of democracy that challenges both the assumptions and commitments of contemporary neo-liberalism.
C.B. Macpherson and Philosophy, “Crypto” or Otherwise: A Response to Frank Cunningham
I have a high regard for Frank Cunningham and his work, on socialism, on democratic theory—and on C.B. Macpherson. To take one example, his new introductions to the recent reissues of Macpherson's books from Oxford University Press, including The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism and Democratic Theory: Essays in Retrieval , are excellent. Lucid and informative, they highlight the value Macpherson's ideas hold for contemporary political…
Reconsidering C.B. MacPherson: From Possessive Individualism to Democratic Theory and Beyond
This stimulating reappraisal illustrates the importance of Macpherson’s classic books, including The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism and Democratic Theory , and demonstrates how much his work has to offer to the future of political and social thought.
Macpherson, Habermas, and the Demands of Democratic Theory
In other articles in this issue, Brian Caterino and Phillip Hansen examine the work of C.B. Macpherson and Jurgen Habermas. They argue that the work of these scholars, concerned with the potential for self-realization in the case of Macpherson and self-determination in the case of Habermas, offer powerful resources for challenging current orthodoxies and practices. The philosophies of the two authors — which consider the impact capitalism has on …

Taxing Illusions: Taxation, Democracy and Embedded Political Theory
Countering recent interest in promoting tax cuts in Canada, this study examines how taxation helps define the nature of a political community and the values of a political culture. By comparing two Saskatchewan tax reports from the early 1960s and the late 1990s, this treatise demonstrates how assumptions about taxation policy reflect and shape conceptions of democracy and citizenship and contends that tax cuts promote an individual-centered rath…

Crisis in rural life and crisis in thinking: Directions for critical research
La crise contemporaine de la vie rurale et agricole c'est produite simultanément avec une crise de la pensée et de la recherche critique: une analyse basée sur l'engagement à créer une société plus rationelle, démocratique et égalitaire. L'économie politique, le paradigme prédominant, a contribuée de façon importante à l'identification et à l'analyse des méchanismes économiques sur lesquels se développent la crise sociale. Mais celui‐ci n'a tenu …
Neo‐conservatism, social democracy and ‘province building’: The experience of Manitoba
La crise économique en cours a eu un impact majeur sur le climat idéologique ce qui normalement entraine des débats politiques au Canada. L'émergence du néo‐conservatisme qui jouit considérablement de l'attention des médias et du respect largement répandu dans les cercles intellectuels et gouvernementaux est l'évidence la plus visible de ce fait. La crise économique a aussi déclenché une crise de la démocratie sociale canadienne. Dûà la nature de…
The Falling Rate of Legitimation: The Problem of the Contemporary Capitalist State in Canada
The recent work of a number of neo-Marxian thinkers has focussed on problems of ensuring mass loyalty in capitalist society. It is argued that there is a growing crisis tendency as the state exhausts its political alternatives in its continual efforts to balance the claims of legitimation against those of accumulation
