Fast Capitalism

This paper draws upon the critical political economy tradition in Canada to examine the renegotiation of NAFTA and the class interests at work in the final agreement. It draws on a range of ethnographic and media sources in its argumentation. The paper provides a comprehensive review of Canadian Political Economy before it turns to the negotiation and the actions of Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland. It is argued that Freeland was adept at appearance management and manipulating media presentations of herself to make the negotiation seem more laboured then it was. In the end, the agreement protected Canada's crown jewel, …

Twenty-Five Years And Still Recovering: A Brief Reflection On Nafta's Impact On Southside, Virginia, Sandra Via

Fast Capitalism

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has had a detrimental effect on Southside, Virginia. Southside, Virginia, particularly Martinsville, VA and Henry County, VA served as a hub for the furniture and textile industries, such as Bassett Furniture and Bassett-Walker Apparel, in the United States. After NAFTA's implementation, these companies eliminated jobs and moved manufacturing overseas to China or across the border to Mexico where they could exploit low wage workers. Neglecting the social responsibility that these corporations had to the workers that had built their companies and made their products world renown, manufacturers closed their doors leaving workers without …

Neoliberal Fascism As The Endpoint Of Casino Capitalism, Henry Giroux

Fast Capitalism

This article explores neoliberal fascism as a distinctive political formation within the current historical moment. In doing so, it first analyzes neoliberalism as a project that has since the 1970s destroyed all the commanding institutions of democracy while consolidating power in the hands of a financial elite. In addition, it analyzes neoliberalism as a movement, that produces and legitimates massive economic inequality and suffering, privatizes public goods, dismantles essential government agencies, and individualizes all social problems. Under such circumstances, neoliberalism creates the conditions for right wing extremists to mobilize the anger of white disenfranchised working class populations by both appealing …

Archival Material (Undated)

Agama Islam telah mengubah kedudukan wanita dari masa ke semasa. Hak-hak dan pelbagai kebebasan telah diberi kepada kaum wanita untuk penyesuaian dengan masyarakat hari ini. Ungku memberi contoh cerita sebagaimana sejak zaman dulu di masyarakat Arab, wanita telah diberi kebebasan untuk memilih suami dan memiliki harta. Tetapi terdapat kenyataan juga bahawa kaum wanita dianggap perkakas dan boleh diwarisi lelaki dalam keluarga. Mereka tidak memiliki kebebasan seperti lelaki dalam masyarakt. Mengikut ajaran Islam, tiap-tiap manusia sepatut diberi hak yang sama. Perkahwinan telah mencerminkan kedudukan status wanita dalam masyarakt.
