Political Economy as a Hegemonic Project*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 November 2009
Extract
No book, least of all an edited one, speaks with a single voice. A text is disguised counterpoint, punk plus Mozart, a riff that cuts across discordant harmonies. Considered this way, a book can no more be judged as simply good or bad than a symphony can be adequately described by its key signature. Nevertheless, The New Canadian Political Economy is a good book in every conventional sense. It meets, for example, all of the challenges of an edited collection: the essays are thematically coherent, uniformly well-written, rigorous and integrated around roughly similar questions. Together, they aim at nothing less than the “first publication of a comprehensive and systematic review of the new Canadian political economy” (4). Moreover, the editors have helpfully organized this review along two axes.
