    Knocking neoliberalism

    Neoliberalism came on to the political scene as a project of the New Right and major corporate interests with the crisis of Keynesianism in the 1970s. In Canada, Bob Rae, Roy Romanow, Gary Doer and Jean Chretien have all governed as neoliberals, as have champions of the New Right such as Brian Mulroney, Ralph Klein, Mike Harris and Bernard Lord. In his latest book, Stephen McBride provides a quite different understanding of neoliberalism and the contemporary state. >by Gregory Albo>politics

    12 steps to end world poverty

    Poor people are poor because they don't have money. It seems pretty basic, but according to Paul Polak's Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail, our theories on solving poverty have become so complex we need to get back to the basics to understand the problem and then to fix it. >by Jenn Watt>non-fiction

    To where a broken compass obstinately points

    The first novel of acclaimed Montreal-based writer Nicolas Dickner carries the reader across time and space to meet a garbage-obsessed archeologist, explore the history of female piratery, and learn the art of filleting a fish. It follows the lives of three young people — Noah, Joyce, and an unnamed narrator — as they confront existential crisis across the globe but Dickner's characters always return to Montreal, the centre of the novel's world, where the story's compass points. >by Ben Shingler>first fiction
