Excerpted from The Toronto Star article “Is less really more when it comes to government?” by Olivia Ward.
“When you look at Canada and the U.S., it isn’t that government is getting smaller, but it’s doing different things,” says economics professor Thomas Naylor of McGill University. “Instead of redistributing income from the wealthy to the poorer groups, it does the reverse.”
Adds Naylor, author of the recently published Crass Struggle: Greed, Glitz, and Gluttony in a Wanna-Have World, “Government is shifting to a more regressive role . . . and increasingly it is a creature of the corporate sector. The social contract is being rewritten: it’s a contract between government and corporate barons.”
(…)
In North America inequality has been growing steadily, and to some, alarmingly. While there is political pressure to shrink government’s ability to regulate the economy and redistribute wealth, the private sector has gained in weight and power with strikingly visible results.
