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.

Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality with Ed Broadbent, Frances Abele, Jonathan Sas and Luke Savage
In this episode, we’ll take you to the book launch event of Seeking Social Democracy: Seven Decades in the Fight for Equality, held on October 22nd, 2023 at the Toronto Reference Library featuring co-authors Ed Broadbent, Frances Abele, Jonathan Sas, and Luke Savage.
The quartet of authors take you behind the scenes of the book, explaining the impetus and political philosophies and principles that shape the chapters of Seeking Social Democracy that make it an unconventional take on the political biography.
Their discussion is then followed by a Q&A from the attendees of the event, where Ed elaborates on his ideas and principles that have defined his political life, and responds to today’s political questions on housing, human rights, internationalism under neoliberalism and the social democratic tradition.
You can watch the full event on the Broadbent Institute's YouTube Channel.
