One of the architects of NAFTA died yesterday. Brian Mulroney was 84 years old and although far from my favorite Prime Minister, you might at least argue that he followed his political convictions.
The philosophy of neoliberalism did not have its birth during his tenure, but the early 90's did see the beginning of a massive opening of world markets. We took the good with the bad and we are now experiencing the after effects of leaving the social fabric of nations to the full mercy of capitalism.
