A weekly columnist with the Globe, he is convinced our productivity challenges and our lack of growth in median income is caused by our complacency.

We rely on our natural resources and our proximity to the US, two huge economic advantages, but don't focus on R&D, innovation, infrastructure and striving to be better. John Rapley talks about Canadian complacency.

Ep 477 - Canada: The World is a Hard Place Guest:  John Rapley By Stuart McNish   In the diplomatic spat between India and Canada, a rising India shows Canada that money is power, says John Rapley, a political economist at the University of Cambridge. He goes on to say that Canada is finding the world a hard place, and points out that it comes as a shock to Canada, namely because of its sense of itself.   Canada has historically been dominant – one of the world's biggest economies, a founding member of the world's most powerful military alliance, and a rich country whose aid programs gave it considerable leverage over developing countries. But as Ottawa squares off with New Delhi over the recent alleged assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil, Rapley says, “It is being left largely to fight its own battle.”   In other words, Canada has stranded itself diplomatically at a time when the U.S. and U.K. have been building the so-called “quad” with Australia, India and Japan, as a safeguard to rising tensions with China. It gets worse, Rapley says. “Not only does Canada now occupy a less significant geopolitical space, but the country is a notorious shirk, or as an ally, with a recently leaked Pentagon paper revealing that Canada's NATO partners no longer consider us as a serious member of the alliance.”   We invited John Rapley to join us for a Conversation That Matters about Canada's shrinking reputation internationally.   You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

Over the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, around the start of the new millennium, history took a dramatic turn. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline compared to the global periphery it had previously colonized. This is not the first time we have seen such a rise and fall: the Roman Empire followed a similar arc, from dizzying power to disintegration. In Why Empires Fall: Rome, America, and the Future of the West (Yale UP, 2023) Historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley explore the uncanny parallels, and productive differences between ancient Rome and the modern West, moving beyond the tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to unearth new lessons. From 399 to 1999, they argue, through the unfolding of parallel, underlying imperial life cycles, both empires sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Has the era of Western global domination indeed reached its end? Heather and Rapley contemplate what comes next. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

For more than one thousand years, the Roman Empire ruled over a vast territory that was  unprecedented in both scope and scale. When it finally did fall under pressure from barbarian invasions and internal political divisions (among many other factors), many historians argue that the Romans sowed the seeds of their own demise.  Is the same set of processes now happening in the West? The historian Peter Heather and the political economist John Rapley have come together to interrogate this question in their excellent new book, "Why Empires Fall: Rome, America, and the Future of the West." In their discussion with Departures host Robert Amsterdam, Heather and Rapley explain how the forms of antiquity and modernity may have changed dramatically between the fall the of the Roman empire and the current buckling of Western hegemony, but nevertheless, how so many parallels continue to bear truth. Chief among them has been the global pivot towards nationalist populism, with the movement of labor and capital to the periphery, there's been a traditionally destructive rush to preserve the status quo ante. What may be done about the current trends, as much as they resemble the fall of Rome, remain quite unclear.

What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the west today? That's the question at the centre of political economist John Rapley and historian Peter Heather's new book Why Empires Fall. Peter and John join Ellie Cawthorne to discuss comparisons – and differences – between the two cases, and explore whether lessons from the ancient past could be applied to the future of the west.

For centuries, the Roman Empire commanded unparalleled control over the world around it. It expanded its borders through trade and conquest, sucking resources from the periphery into its thriving centre - Rome. And then, suddenly, everything changed. The Empire entered a state of crisis, and rapidly disintegrated. The West has experienced a similarly dramatic rise and fall over the last 3 centuries, moving from an era of global dominance to one of economic stagnation and political division. But is the decline and fall of empires inevitable? And what can be done to avoid the fate of Rome? In this episode, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley join Dan to compare the West's current crisis with that of Rome, and discuss what comes next.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.You can take part in our listener survey here.If you want to get in touch with the podcast, you can email us at ds.hh@historyhit.com, we'd love to hear from you!

On today's show, Premier Danielle Smith has discussed forgiving penalties that were handed out for breaking COVID-19 restrictions. Can she do that? We ask Lisa Silver, an associate law professor at the University of Calgary. Plus, Saudi Arabia has been pressured by the West to help lower the price of oil, but it has refused, even going so far as to raise prices. What's the angle? We chat with John Rapley, a political economist at the University of Cambridge and a senior fellow of the Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study. And to keep kids safe online in Canada, lawmakers in our country only need to look at what's already been done in Britain and California.

In Episode 3 of ACAAAWIAB, Neil and Phil explore how there is often a difference between what we say we believe and what we really believe. Maybe we participate in institutional religion and maybe we don't, but either way we may find that aspects of our experience such as economics, science, or technology (or all three) begin to function as unofficial belief systems. We'll discuss ideas by Roy Clouser, Bob Goudzwaard, John Rapley, Kenneth, Arrow, and David Graber who makes an encore appearance. (Editor's note: when Phil was talking about Roy Clouser's theory of religious dependency structures, he mistakenly called him Neil Clouser. Probably because he was talking to Neil at the time.)In “Should I Really Care About This?” We'll discover the important truth that orange juice and eggs are not just breakfast foods.Beers appearing in this episode:Cinderlands Brewing Monaca S'mores StoutEinstok Icelandic White AleResources:Kenneth Arrow's "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care" (1963) can be found here.John Rapley's "How Economics Became a Religion" (2017) in The Guardian

Plagues like the black death or the 1918 pandemic are not solely responsible for the rise and fall of civilizations and empires, but they do play an important role in history. Investigating how plagues have impacted civilizations in the past has offered Cambridge political economist John Rapley some clues into the impact of COVID-19 on our world today.
