> Two of the issues at the centre of political debate over the last  
> year have been the unfolding credit crisis in North America and its  
> impact on the Canadian and American dollars and the continued  
> emergence of China as a new pole of economic and political power in  
> the capitalist world economy. The new issue of Relay (Number 21 for  
> January-March 2008) takes up these debates. Fletcher Baragar and  
> Ingo Schmidt contribute essays on the turmoil in financial markets  
> and their implications for American power and the Canadian economy.  
> Bryan Evans and Greg Albo add their assessment of the first two  
> years of the Harper government.
>
> It is now thirty years from the start of the market reform process  
> in China with the consolidation of power of Deng Xiaoping in 1978.  
> Relay collects contributions from Cathy Walker, Etienne Cantin, Ken  
> Kawashima, Kanchan Sarker, Laam Hae and others on the impact on  
> unions and workers in China, new cultural developments and  
> relations with other parts of the world.
>
> Finally, Relay publishes an important assessment of the Venezuelan  
> Bolivarian process by Robin Hahnel, one of the most innovative  
> writers on democratic economies and social transition today.
