Book Description
Canada's future economy will be a "green" economy. The promise of such an economy, in the environmental and economic benefits it will create is too powerful, and too positive, to ignore. But getting there will require a transformation in almost every aspect of our economic lives, away from activities that generate environmental degradation to those that preserve and sustain the natural systems upon which our societies are based. A great deal of work lies ahead in continuing to make the case for a green economy, and in finding, developing, and promoting the solutions that will make the transformation to a green economy a reality. These solutions, big and small, will be found in our governments, in our businesses, and in our civil society. Canada's philanthropic community and its partners are playing, and will continue to play, an important role in this transformation.

Book Description
Canadian thought leaders who participated in this CEGN exercise identified a number of opportunities associated with the green economy. However, they were not blind to the many obstacles that must be overcome before the envisioned benefits can be delivered. They saw tremendous potential for green job creation, but also for long-term economic growth as a result of enhanced productivity and global competiveness. They appreciated that the greening of Canada's economy would mean more sustainable management of the country's natural resources and a cleaner, healthier environment for generations of future Canadians. Canada would also be seen as doing its role to stabilize human-caused climate change. The effort - the process of greening the economy - would also bring healthy returns on investment to the financial community. The local nature of many green initiatives would bring the country's communities and First Nations groups closer together by encouraging greater collaboration and partnering at the local level.

Book Description
The world of philanthropy and private foundations remains mysterious to most Canadians. Memorably likened to giraffes, foundations are creatures that should not exist, but they do, surrounded by a certain mystique. In From Charity to Change Hilary Pearson demystifies the world of Canadian philanthropy, offering a portrait of today’s foundation landscape and highlighting organizations that are acting with purpose on some of the most pressing social and economic challenges of our time: climate change, the future of cities, education and the evolving workforce, housing, and the urgent need to repair and build new relationships with Indigenous Peoples. Pearson, who for two decades worked with leaders of foundations across Canada, provides an insider’s perspective on the ways these organizations continue to evolve. Through personal interviews with private funders – large and small, long established and newly formed – Pearson describes their strategies and the varied roles they play, whether as convenors, advocates, brokers, or partners. A timely contribution to the current debate on the legitimacy of organized philanthropy in an era of increasing social division and inequality, From Charity to Change makes a compelling case for the valuable role private philanthropy plays in addressing the challenges of our rapidly changing times.

Book Description
Critically examining economic developments within the last sixty years, this book argues that a crisis in global social reproduction is altering existing understandings of work, labour and the economy. The author of this original volume, Hasmet M. Uluorta, contends that the crisis in the global economy is triggering a potential paradigm shift from one defined under the rubric of Employment to an alternative theorized as Work. Discussing the Employment paradigm that formed the dominant mode of development after the Second World War through to the 1970s, the author considers the economic and political forces that resulted in its eventual decline. Focusing on already existing practices of organizations and workers in Toronto, Canada, the book goes on to consider the shift to Work and the consequent rise in the social economy which has broken down conventional categories of work and leisure. The author concludes that the social economy presents fundamental challenges to understandings that underpinned the previous economic order. Building on insights from a range of disciplines, The Social Economy will be of interest to students and scholars of international political economy, international relations, labour studies, sociology, and globalization studies.
