| Description |
Paul Kellogg, in “Kari Levitt and the Long Detour of Canadian Political Economy,” concludes that the key focus of Canadian political economy should be on class relations within Canada instead of on Canada-US economic relations. He argues that Levitt’s classic book Silent Surrender: The Multinational Corporation in Canada still exerts a strong influence on the analytical framework of the Left, even though its predictions have proved to be “entirely wrong.” Kellogg argues that there has been no long-term increase in US corporate hegemony in Canada, a decrease rather than increase in resource dependency, a decline rather than increase in US global corporate hegemony, and a major increase in Canada’s position as a major capital exporter instead of a deepening of dependency. The failure of Levitt’s model to explain these fundamental trajectories of change means that it should be rejected rather than celebrated.
