Canada Grapples with Neoliberalism Amid Ongoing Trade Dispute with US
Canada's economic prospects are changing quickly amidst the ongoing trade dispute with Donald Trump's administration. Author Alex Himelfarb, a retired Canadian civil servant and former clerk of the privy council, believes this situation presents an opportunity for Canada to break free from neoliberalism.
Himelfarb's book, 'Breaking Free of Neoliberalism in Trump Times', was updated recently to reflect the latest developments. He argues that building an economy less dependent on the US is urgent and that decisions on development should prioritize sovereignty over GDP growth.
The trade dispute with the US has introduced new tariffs, making it essential for Canada to reassess its economic strategy. Himelfarb's book provides insight into how Canada can navigate this challenging situation and move towards a more independent economy.
