Overview
In Canadian Political Economy, experts from a number of disciplinary backgrounds come together to explore Canada's empirical political economy and the field's contributions to theory and debate. Considering both historical and contemporary approaches to CPE, the contributors pay particular attention to key actors and institutions, as well as developments in Canadian political-economic policies and practices, explored through themes of changes, crises, and conflicts in CPE. Offering up-to-date interpretations, analyses, and descriptions, Canadian Political Economy is accessibly written and suitable for students and scholars. In 17 chapters, the book's topics include theory, history, inequality, work, free trade and fair trade, co-operatives, banking and finance, the environment, indigeneity, and the gendered politics of political economy. Linking longstanding debates with current developments, this volume represents both a state-of-the-discipline and a state-of-the-art contribution to scholarship.

Reviews
An incredibly important volume, Canadian Political Economy is a constellation, bringing together significant and important research and taking stock of the discipline. Conforming to a high standard of scholarship, Heather Whiteside explores alternative forms of organizing, non-profit organizations, as well as topics of inequality, urban issues, and social policy, providing much needed attention to issues rarely explored in Canadian political economy. - Byron Sheldrick, Department of Political Science, University of Guelph Well-written and comprehensive, this book stands on its own as an intellectual contribution to the study of Canadian political economy. Heather Whiteside integrates key themes often not foregrounded in the literature, including social reproduction, settler-colonialism, and ecology, making it a major contribution to the discipline and a very useful resource for teaching. - Paul Kellogg, Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies, Athabasca University
