Jamie Brownlee is currently working on his dissertation at Carleton University in Ottawa. He is part of a new collaborative program where he will obtain a PhD in sociology with a specialization in political economy. This focus aligns with his research and teaching interests in Canadian and international political economy, political sociology, social theory and the sociology of education. Jamie's book Ruling Canada is a critical examination of Canadaâs âeconomic eliteââa collection of the countryâs richest and most powerful individuals, many of whom preside over Canadaâs largest corporations. Brownlee argues that this corporate elite is increasingly unified and class conscious.
Jamie Brownlee talks with Alex Paterson and Scott Price about corporate class consciousness and cohesion inherent in the Canadian Council of Chief Executives.
