As a second wave of the New Right swept across Canada in the 1990s, The Trojan Horse emerged as a vital warning shot. Edited by Gordon Laxer and Trevor Harrison, this sharp and urgent anthology examines Alberta under Premier Ralph Klein?hailed by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal as the model for neoliberal reform?and asks what happens when austerity, deregulation, and privatization become national policy. Drawing on firsthand expertise and critical analysis, the contributors expose how the so-called ?Klein Revolution? leveraged middle-class insecurity to dismantle the welfare state and redefine the role of government. From health care cuts to democratic erosion, The Trojan Horse traces the consequences of turning Alberta into a neoliberal laboratory, and warns that the rest of Canada may be next.
