Conclusion

New!

From: Capitalism and Dispossession

$0.80

In Chapter 12, editors David P. Thomas and Veldon Coburn conclude the collection by reflecting on the themes discusses throughout the book. They reiterate their stance that Canadian capitalism is underwritten and braced by the settler colonial project and we should understand dispossession as a contemporary and ongoing problem and accordingly ask readers to imagine and work towards formulating viable alternatives to capitalist dispossession. They call for bold ideas to fundamentally change capitalism and eventually replace it in order to ensure that an economic system can emerge that prioritizes the health and well-being of people and the planet rather than the bottom line of corporations.
