I have always been curious and iconoclastic, challenging perceived wisdom across the political spectrum. In the 1970s and 80s, I concentrated my efforts on analyzing the massive changes in the Canadian political economy. The iconic work of Harold Innis was a principal point of departure. My collaboration with the Paris-based Regulation School began in this period and was a second theoretical anchor point. My most influential book in this period was The Other Macdonald Report (1985). It was followed by The New Era of Global Competition (1991).

In the 1990s, my big books were States Against Markets, Staples Markets and Cultural Change, a collection of Harold Innis’ most influential essays and Health Reform: Public Success, Private Failure. In the new millennium, my focus has broadened to include many transnational issues. My research since 2000 has produced The Market or the Public Domain (2001), Borders Matter (2004) and a forthcoming book with Polity Press entitled The Manufacturing of Dissent and the End of Trade Determinism. have always been curious and iconoclastic, challenging perceived wisdom across the political spectrum.
