Industrial Policy after Neoliberalism with D.T. Cochrane
Manage episode 462968350 series 3540782
For decades, social democrats have championed industrial policy, prioritizing the governance of the economy and market regulation as a way to build a more just and democratic society. But as a new era of neoliberalism — or post-neoliberalism — dawns, economist D.T. Cochrane sees Canada at a crossroads, in urgent need of a renewed vision of industrial policy.
The Canadian Labour Congress’s senior economist points to the shortcomings of Canada’s carbon tax and tells us what the future of the Canadian economy could look like as Donald Trump takes office in the US, answering the ultimate question: how can we ensure our markets are healthy and benefit all Canadians?
