Challenging the Market cover

A direct challenge to the doctrines of deregulation and "flexibility" that have guided labour market and social policy-making in most countries over the past two decades.

A History for the Future will be of interest to all those who reflect on the relationship between memory, giving meaning to the past, writing history, and a society's common aspirations. The original French edition, Passer a l'avenir, won Quebec's Prix Spirale for the best non-fiction book of 2000.A History for the Future will be of interest to all those who reflect on the relationship between memory, giving meaning to the past, writing history, and a society's common aspirations.

Challenging the Market presents a trenchant and telling critique of the "American model" of deregulationist labour-market policy. This comprehensive and compelling volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in understanding, and transcending, the present neoliberal conjuncture."
