Perspectives: A Canadian Journal of Political Economy and Social Democracy
Perspectives is a Canadian journal for political economy and social democracy by the Broadbent Institute. Our publication brings boldly left-wing ideas and inquiry into public debates and policy fora for building a Canada that is just and equitable, based on the Broadbent Principles for Canadian Social Democracy.
We present commentary, long-form analysis, interviews, and other content to help inform strategists, organizers, academics, and policymakers of the theory, practice, and tactics that can be used to advance an egalitarian economy, dismantle systems of oppression, and build social movements based on justice and equality.
