> Neoliberalism has been the dominant policy framework in capitalist  
> states for some two decades now. It is clearly discredited in the  
> eyes of the popular majority. But it continues as the social form of  
> organizing and exercising power by the ruling classes in the face of  
> a disorganized left, except for a few challenges around specific  
> policy issues and the resistance of a few key countries in Latin  
> America.

> This issue of Relay explores some of the key areas where the limits  
> of neoliberalism are being exposed. A series of authors -- McNally,  
> Aquanno, Rude and Gindin -- debate the current credit and financial  
> crises besetting the advanced capitalist world. Evans, Klassen,  
> Johnson, Hu, Joya, Hrynyshyn and others look at some of the social,  
> economic and political failings of neoliberalism in Canada and  
> beyond. Finally, neoliberalism has been intimately connected to the  
> new imperialism and Joshi-Vijayan and Judson examine Canada's  
> imperialist ventures in Haiti and Afghanistan.
