Abstract An elaboration on some of the issues addressed in “The growing contradictions within the Empire: An interview with Leo Panitch” by Ana Garcia, Debora Gaspar, and Filipe Mendonça, as well as on other topics, including the threat of fascism in the United States that Panitch was debating with close comrades in the last months of his life.

Abstract In this article, we analyze the issue of increasing precarity in the world of work in light of the Brazilian scholar Ruy Mauro Marini’s theses and the concept of superexploitation. Forged in the domain of a Marxist theory of dependency, the concept was originally formulated to designate specific regimes within Latin American social formations. First, we review certain global trends in the world of work and transformation processes in regimes of superexploitation in dependent countries. Next, we examine the contemporary emergence of increasing precarity as a phenomenon in central capitalist countries. Finally, we discuss the category’s validity and implications for understanding new morphologies of the working class both in Latin America and around the world.

Abstract Mel Watkins re-applied the “staples theory” of Canadian economic history, originally proposed by economic historians including Harold Innis in the 1930s, within the increasingly radical discourse of Canadian political economy in the 1960s and 1970s. In so doing, he helped start a new intellectual and political tradition: the “New Canadian Political Economy.” Watkins’ analysis of staples industries remains relevant and influential today, in part because of his willingness to adapt and extend that analysis to reflect evolving economic, political, and ecological realities.

Abstract Mel Watkins was an exceptional academic who worked so that Canadians could understand the distinct nature of this country and its economy. He was an intellectual who also described himself as a nationalist and a socialist, and, most unusually for an academic, as an activist. He opposed the US domination of the Canadian economy, tried hard to make the New Democratic Party a socialist party, and focused, in later parts of his life, on actions to ensure peace and confront globalization.

Abstract This article explores the role of interunion conflict in the rise and evolution of faculty unionism in Canada. We argue that competition and tension between the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) in the early 1970s played a key role in driving professors’ support for the certification of independent faculty associations. Moreover, we contend that a parochial, sectionalist, and craft-like brand of faculty unionism remained dominant in Canada until the 2000s, when external forces and the rise of the neoliberal university convinced CAUT’s leadership to broaden the tent in terms of membership and embrace an enlarged notion of solidarity in an effort to better defend terms and conditions of work for university teachers.

Abstract Platform-mediated work, characterized as digital intermediation between workers and buyers of labour service, most famously exemplified by Uber, reveals how the transformation of the forces of production is reshaping relations of production. Using a political economy approach, this article takes us behind market exchanges between workers, platform operators, and clients to examine who extracts surplus value from workers, and how. It identifies two distinct models based on whether labour is performed locally on the ground or through the cloud.

Abstract This article assesses the job guarantee (JG) from two angles. First, by tracing some of the JG’s intellectual origins in the inflationary crises of the 1970s, it questions contemporary claims about the JG’s potential to increase workers’ bargaining power. Second, it critiques antiwelfare thinking among JG advocates by showing how their normative claims about the dignity of employment both obscure the centrality of unpaid social reproductive labour to capitalism and could potentially reinforce social welfare cuts and workfare.

Abstract Internationally known economist Dr. John Loxley passed away suddenly on July 28, 2020. In this article, we pay tribute to him, a proud heterodox economist and a rare scholar who believed in the importance of sharing his knowledge and talents with people working on the ground to build a more equitable world. John, a faculty member in the University of Manitoba Department of Economics for 43 years, was the recipient of many awards and is known for building a bridge between academia and community.
