Abstract When COVID-19 struck in 2020, a large number of persons experiencing homelessness in Toronto filtered out into public spaces and makeshift shelters to try to limit further community spread. Using city council reports, transcripts from community meetings, and media publications, this article employs a novel framing device called “liminal positionality” to grasp how people who were resettled in new shelters were at once embedded among and newly rejected by the people living around these shelters. Existing residents then pressured the state to build new spatial boundaries between themselves and their new neighbours within these shared spaces.

R. Hahnel
Abstract In the previous issue of Studies in Political Economy (103, no. 2), Fikret Adaman and Pat Devine critically compare their postcapitalist model “negotiated coordination” with the model known as “a participatory economy,” which Michael Albert and I have espoused. In this paper, I respond to some of their criticisms and present some criticisms of their model and approach as well.

Abstract This paper challenges antiwork techno-utopias praising the supposedly liberating potential of capital productive forces and advocating for an accelerated expansion of labour-saving technologies before implementing a postcapitalist world built upon such technological development. The premises of those technoreveries are thus inspected along with the dangers and limitations of their implementation. Marx's view of productive forces is also examined, and some reflections are offered on the fettering thesis and the socialist goal of human enhancement.

Abstract While differences exist in the organization of seniors care in Shanghai and British Columbia, both systems exhibit the simultaneous devaluation of, and reliance on, feminized labour. In this paper, we argue that COVID-19 highlighted underlying crisis tendencies built into the profit models in both increasingly privatized systems. The crisis of seniors care cannot be addressed without fundamental changes to the way care labour is valued, which in turn requires the true politicization of seniors care. This paper is part of the SPE Theme on the Political Economy of COVID-19.

Abstract This article critically examines structural impediments to the enforcement of laws that criminalize corporations for negligently killing workers and/or the public. Drawing empirically from a case in which three Canadian Pacific Railway workers were killed on the job, and from subsequent questions about the company’s negligence as the cause of death, as well as theoretical insights from the literature on conjunctural analysis, we explore the cultural, political, and economic relations of power that effectively insulate corporations from criminal justice scrutiny.

Abstract This paper focuses on the political economy of work and labour under COVID-19 in the Canadian context. It reviews the impact of the COVID crisis on employment and workers, highlighting gendered and racialized inequalities in waged and unwaged work, analyzes state responses to the crisis, and explores how organized labour has navigated COVID capitalism. It argues that, while unions have engaged in necessary defensive struggles, the labour movement has not prioritized and won class-wide demands. This paper is part of the SPE Theme on the Political Economy of COVID-19.

Fikret Adaman, P. Devine
Abstract Models developed by Robin Hahnel and Pat Devine both claim to rest on democratic planning in an ecosocialist society. Whereas Hahnel depends on a neoclassical framework (commensurability of goods, assumption of homo economics, reliance on marginal costs-benefits), Devine relies on knowledge in different forms as articulated at the individual, institutional, and societal levels by the social owners at each level and incorporates a transformatory dynamic through which particular interests are negotiated into a socially constructed general interest. This paper is part of the “Democratic Economic Planning” theme.
Robin Hahnel和Pat Devine开发的抽象模型都声称建立在生态社会主义社会的民主计划之上。尽管Hahnel依赖于新古典主义框架（商品的可公度、同质经济学的假设、对边际成本效益的依赖），但Devine依赖于在个人、制度、，以及每个层面的社会所有者的社会层面，并结合了一种转化的动态，通过这种动态，特定的利益被协商成社会构建的一般利益。本文是“民主经济计划”主题的一部分。

Abstract This article discusses the policy choices of Left-Centre president Andres Manuel López Obrador (known as AMLO) in Mexico in the context of the neoliberal institutional legacy that his administration inherited. The persistence of neoliberalism under the AMLO government is manifest in the monetary and financial policies pursued—particularly in the context of the pandemic—that merge successive neoliberal approaches with socioeconomic regulation, namely the Washington, the post-Washington, and the Wall Street Consensus.

Abstract In this paper, we examine a crisis in the governance of health and care that characterized the regions of Milan and Toronto, which the COVID-19 pandemic impacted substantially—both in early 2020 when SARS-CoV-2 first hit and later in the fall and winter when the disease entered its second and third waves. We analyze restructuring in health and care in both regions, and, where necessary, in national contexts. We make the case that restructuring and implementing welfare and health policy, including long-term care, in Toronto and Milan in the context of long-standing tendencies of health governance restructuring that were part of a more general rescaling of the regional welfare state be held responsible for the toll COVID-19 levied. This paper is part of the SPE Theme on the Political Economy of COVID-19.

Abstract This paper explores the role of elite networks in brokering Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Ontario, Canada. Drawing from the notion of the “PPP enabling field,” we explore how PPPs are fostered by a broad constellation of public and private organizations, all of which work together to establish and legitimize PPPs as an infrastructure procurement model in Canada.
