Abstract Viewing through a feminist political economy lens, this article analyzes the privatization playbook deployed by the Saskatchewan government to increase privatization in the long-term care sector and discusses its limited success. Diverting from analyses that focus on a single sector, we consider the relationships among long-term care homes, retirement homes and family care, and the many forms of privatization that aim to support markets and produce profit while increasing inequities of gender, race, class, location, age, and more.

Matthew Huber’s recently published book, Climate Change as Class War (Verso, 2022), offers an important contribution to recent socialist debates about how to deal with the climate crisis. In September 2022, Studies in Political Economy editor Ryan Katz-Rosene sat down with Huber and asked him to elaborate on his vision for a “socialist ecomodernism.” This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with Climate Change as Class War.”

Abstract The integration of environmental issues into democratic economic planning models is the object of ongoing debates. Environmental factors cannot be reduced only to economic indicators, rendering economic models unable to properly account for ecological limits. By focusing on our societies’ biophysical needs, the concept of social metabolism opens new avenues to answer such problems. This paper presents two sociometabolic models and their limits to explore how this perspective could inform democratic economic planning models. This paper is part of the “Democratic Economic Planning” theme.

Abstract Despite the 2016 agreement between the government and the FARC-EP guerrillas, Colombia is still far from achieving peace. Throughout much of the country, violence goes on unabated. Under the Leftist presidency of Gustavo Petro, the chances of Columbia's armed conflict being brought to a close have increased. To accomplish “total peace,” however, the government must implement the FARC-EP peace agreement, restart the peace negotiations with the ELN guerrillas, and dismantle Right-wing neoparamilitary groups and drug cartels.

Abstract Multiple overlapping crises, such as the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and climate change, have exposed the deficiencies of a market-led political economy. Financialization and the dominance of a private financial system are deeply implicated as causes and therefore cannot realistically be part of the solution. A rejuvenated public sector is needed to institute massive and targetted funding, and the role of public banks should be a central component as alternatives to neoliberal financial capitalism are devised.

Abstract This article analyzes the prospects and challenges ahead for the Historic Pact leaders Gustavo Petro and Francia Marquez following the 2022 presidential election in Colombia. It critically examines the government’s plan for addressing land redistribution and restitution, the continuing influence of paramilitary power over major state institutions, and the elites’ reliance on violence to maintain their economic domination.

Abstract In 2019, Regina’s Co-operative Refinery Complex locked out the 730 members of Unifor Local 594 amid record profits in an aggressive drive for significant pension concessions. Marred by sweeping antipicketing injunctions, an enormous scab operation, police repression, and general public enmity, the lockout suggests two overlapping trends. First, the union’s adherence to co-operative and conciliatory bargaining had left it ill equipped to confront—either in the workplace or the public sphere—management’s costcutting agenda in the centre of Saskatchewan’s now hegemonic petrostate. Second, a marked tension developed between community outreach efforts and the circumstances in which legal industrial action was ineffective and civil disobedience emerged.
2019年，里贾纳合作炼油厂(Regina’s Co-operative Refinery Complex)在创纪录的利润推动下，锁定了Unifor Local 594的730名成员，以获得重大养老金优惠。大范围的反纠察禁令、大规模的镇压行动、警察镇压和公众的普遍敌意，这些都表明了两种重叠的趋势。首先，工会对合作和和解谈判的坚持使其在面对——无论是在工作场所还是在公共领域——管理部门在萨斯喀彻温省现在的霸权石油国家中心的成本削减议程时，都没有做好准备。其次，社区外展努力与法律工业行动无效和公民不服从出现的情况之间出现了明显的紧张关系。

Abstract This paper examines how the latest iron ore mining cycle evolved and impacted Quebec’s mining industry and communities. Our research aims to explain how globally integrated mining corporations take advantage of and generate disruptive boom and bust dynamics, leading to specific forms of restructuring at the local level. Our main argument is that overcapacity and overproduction can enhance capital accumulation rather than undermine it, given the monopolistic nature of the contemporary mining sector.

Abstract This article examines the resurgence of the far Right in Canada, as expressed through the movement against pandemic restrictions and vaccine mandates that culminated with the Freedom Convoy. It argues that the growth of the far Right is a response to a series of overlapping crises of which the COVID-19 pandemic is but one. The article also explores the class character of the contemporaryfar Right, arguing that it has the hallmarks of a middle-class or, to use the Marxist idiom, petty bourgeois movement.
