The Limits of Labour
The cover photo exemplifies the working men of the pre-World War I frontier outpost of Calgary, prior to its transformation into an industrial metropolis. Bright (history, U. of Calgary and Mount Royal College, Calgary) challenges the view of Calgary as a prewar center of labor conservatism, and demonstrates how the labor movement of the 1920s set the stage for Social Credit in failing to meet the challenges of the Great Depression. His analysis is organized into two sections by theme and period: class formation, 1883-1913; and the labor movement, 1913-29. Canadian card order no. C98-910609-8. Paper edition (unseen), $29.95.

The Limits of Regionalism
Assessing the effectiveness of the North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC), this book examines the operation of the core institutions (the Secretariat and National Administrative Offices) over the past seven years. It discusses the main functions of these institutions in hearing public submissions on violations of labour laws and in conducting research and cooperative activities. Based on interview research, the analysis reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the accord to assess its contribution to a common labour relations regime in North America and its impact in creating new transnational communities of actors in government and civil society in the three countries. The NAALC is also compared with the social dimension of the European Union system, and a final assessment is made as to whether the NAALC institutions live up to the promises of their founders and whether these can be a model for labour relations in any future Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) agreement.
The Limits to Capital
A major rereading of Marx’s critique of political economy Now a classic of Marxian economics, The Limits to Capital provides one of the best theoretical guides to the history and geography of capitalist development. In this edition, Harvey updates his seminal text with a substantial discussion of the turmoil in world markets today. Delving into concepts such as “fictitious capital” and “uneven geographical development,” Harvey takes the reader step by step through layers of crisis formation, beginning with Marx’s controversial argument concerning the falling rate of profit and closing with a timely foray into the geopolitical and geographical implications of Marx’s work.
