Offshoring & leaking: Cristiano Ronaldo’s tax evasion, and celebrity in neoliberal times
This article examines how the news media framed the allegations made in 2016 against Cristiano Ronaldo for evading taxes through offshores, and how audiences discussed this online, in Portugal, where he is originally from, and Spain, where he played football at the time. These countries were amidst an “austerity culture” justifying welfare cuts, promoting entrepreneurialism as “success”, and presenting neoliberal policies as “common sense”. Our a…
Quality Predictability and the Welfare Benefits from New Products: Evidence from the Digitization of Recorded Music
We explore the consequence of quality unpredictability for the welfare benefit of new products, using recent developments in recorded music as our context. We quantify the effects of new music on welfare using an explicit structural model of demand and entry with potentially unpredictable product quality. On the basis of plausible forecasting models of expected appeal, a tripling of the choice set according to expected quality adds substantially …

The neoliberal transnational university: The case of UBC Okanagan
This paper describes and explains the takeover of a regional post-secondary institution in British Columbia, Canada by one of the world's 'top forty' universities: the transnational University of British Columbia (UBC). By mapping connections between the University of British Columbia and the provincial and national political and economic elite and bourgeoisie, the authors establish the takeover of UBC Okanagan as a classic example of neoliberali…

Janitors and Sweatshop Citizenship in Canada
Janitors in Canada increasingly suffer from what I call here “sweatshop citizenship”, which is a combination of disintegrating workplace rights and eroding social citizenship rights. This condition has been institutionalized by neoliberal state policies which have undermined the welfare state and the assumptions of citizenship which it embodied. Through an exploration of how sweatshop citizenship is being instituted in Ontario and British Columbi…
Introduction: Geographies of Neoliberalism
Work hard, play hard: Selling Kelowna, BC, as year‐round playground
A keen interest in place making and place selling is widespread in contemporary society. While the bulk of academic research has focused on studying the restructuring of large urban conglomerates, places beyond the exploding metropolis, by comparison, have received little attention, especially when it concerns Canadian landscapes. In an attempt to study the particularities of place making in contemporary smaller, more isolated communities—hinterl…
Against the Odds: Gender, Ethnicity and the Attempt to Unionize a Garment Factory in Montreal
Cet article cherche à comprendre et à expliquer les motifs d'une campagne de syndicalisation au sein d'une usine de vêtements et de textiles à Montréal. Il étudie les origines et suit les péripéties de cette campagne, tout en portant une attention spéciale aux questions de genre et d'ethnicité, ainsi qu'aux rôles joués par le syndicat et le patron au cours de cette lutte ouvrière. L'article se termine par dresser un bilan de cette campagne, qui s…
