Have you read Nora Loreto's latest Canada in Decline: The Social Safety Net? It's the start of a larger series she's doing that basically tries to ask what's gone wrong and how did we get here.
Thanks for this list. I'm just catching-up on a lot of reading. Personally, I follow about 7? economists to get a more thorough understanding of how theory sets a direction. There is little doubt applied economics is the strongest thread running through this tapestry we refer to as 'life'. It would seem, the woes of today - at least in the 'first' world - have everything to do with the current applied economic theories (neoliberalism/neoclasssical). The majority of citizens are suffering some level of economic distress yet it seems more politically expedient to 'blame' rather than analyze, draft policy and solve. Of course there is vested interest in continuing to support the current economics as wealth buys power and its typically the wealthy in power.
I’ve read the last 3 on your list. (I was surprised at the small size of Mr.Monbiot’s book.) Ramond Plant’s ‘The Neo-liberal State’, Jamie Peck’s ‘Construction of Neoliberal Reason’ also good books. Cheers!

What will 2025 bring?
Enjoying Himelfarb, that he has had a front row seat to the 'neo' impact on Canada over an extended period of time makes it essential reading
