Harperism

In "Harperism," author Donald Gutstein explores the transformative impact of Stephen Harper's neo-liberal policies on Canadian politics, paralleling the shifts seen under Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Gutstein outlines key tenets of Harperism, including the weakening of labor movements, cuts to government scientific research, and views on income inequality, all grounded in neo-liberal economic theories. The book reveals the interconnected network of politicians, think tanks, and wealthy donors that support these ideas, shedding light on the challenges posed by Harperism to Canadians who oppose its pro-market stance.
