On July 24, we celebrate Chrystia Freeland!
We are accustomed to thinking of the left as having an internationalist perspective. Liberals are the sort of people who worry about poverty in Africa or the education of girls in India. The irony today is that the real internationalists are no longer the bleeding-heart liberals; they are the cutthroat titans of capital.
- from Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else by Chrystia Freeland
About this series
Every day this July, the yak occidental is posting a quote from a book by a Canadian writer to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st. Celebrating Canada is complex, and we must remember the violent and genocidal history our country is founded upon.
