New Canadian Cannabis Trust Regimes
In the 6 years since legalization of recreational cannabis, most Canadians have shifted their trust to the government regulated market, motivated primarily by product safety. In this case study of the province of Nova Scotia's cannabis market, we find that this disembedded trust regime of federal government oversight frustrates local producers’ efforts to make and market their products because regulation inhibits consumers from establishing local…
Technofeudalism, or capitalism same as it ever was? Placing the blockchain in global capitalism
In this article, I place the blockchain within competing interpretations of the present as either an emerging technofeudal mode of production, or as a relatively unchanged capitalism. Drawing on a wide literature on zones – spaces in nation-states where the usual rules do not apply – I highlight three reconfigurations of territory, authority, and rights (TAR) associated with the blockchain today. These are: (1) the transnational expansion of cryp…
Canadian Political Economy and the Transnational Character of Canada’s Cannabis Industry
There is a continuing debate in Canadian political economy as to whether Canada is better understood as a dependency of the US empire or a secondary imperialist power. Drawing inspiration from middle-ground overviews, this paper questions one of the debate’s central premises: that nationally identifiable capital exists, and that Canadian capital is identifiably Canadian. Through an analysis of the ownership and operations of the seven largest Can…
Towards Greater Transparency Regarding Partnerships for Technology Development
This article explores the problems and potential of funded short-term cross-sector partnerships to address technological deficits in the nonprofit sector by engaging with the partners of a concluded project. The partnership case study that forms the backbone of this article was a three-year nationally funded nonprofit-industry-academic partnership. The ob- jective of the partnership was to increase the data collection capacity of a national nonpr…
On the property of blockchains
The last few years have seen the emergence of a growing academic literature on the blockchain. On one side are the supporters, who see its potential to create a true, peer-to-peer (p2p) sharing economy. On the other side are the critics, who argue that the blockchain is more likely to reproduce capitalism than to disrupt it. Using the insights generated by the critical literature on the blockchain, this paper seeks to ask new questions and provid…
Imperialism or global capitalism? Some reflections from Canada
In the context of a revived debate over Canada’s location in the global political economy, this paper highlights two recent changes to the property relations of capitalism that problematize the conceptual framework of theories of imperialism and dependency: first, new rights for financial institutions that challenge attempts to surmise meaning from the nationality of capital, and, second, new rights for corporations that restrict nation-states fr…
A (reluctant) defence of the theory of the transnational state
Following recent criticism of the concept of a transnational state, this paper attempts to defend the concept by focusing on the role that property plays in organizing societies. Through an analysis of how the rise of private property reoriented the role of feudal absolutist states, the paper argues that contemporary free trade agreements are transforming nation-states into transnational states by restricting their ability to legislate against co…
The Real World of the Decentralized Autonomous Society
Although it is still in early stages, many commentators have been quick to note the revolutionary potential of next-generation or Bitcoin 2.0 technology. While some have expressed fear that the widespread application of these technologies may engender the rise of a Terminator-style Skynet, others believe that it represents the coming of a decentralized autonomous society (DAS) in which humans are freed from centralized forms of power through the …

A Critique of Panitch and Gindin's Theory of American Empire
The Making of Global Capitalism: The Political Economy of American Empire marks Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin's most recent attempt at furthering their thesis that globalization should be understood as an informal American empire. Their analysis, however, is hampered by three overarching issues that result from their inattention to many of the precepts of historical materialism. First, they treat capital as being predominantly national, despite over…
