Updating the Global Slump with David McNally

Today I’m happy to present another in a series of feature interviews with outstanding Canadian political economists. In this segment my guest is David McNally — noted academic, activist and author. David is professor at York University and active in a number of grassroots organizations and movements in the Toronto area, including the Greater Toronto Workers’ Assembly. He is the author of numerous books, including his most recent Deutscher-prize winning Monsters of the Market and Global Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and Resistance, published in 2010. I caught up with David to get an update on what has happened to the themes in global political economy he explored in this latter book.
