From the Paper:

"The Marxist model of development makes the assumption that every nation "would progress through a sequence of modes of production, with some countries in the lead and others bringing up the rear" (Mitchell). However, what Karl Marx did not anticipate is globalization and its effect on contemporary economic systems, specifically the potential for uneven population growth. When it comes to political agenda in Canada in the 21st century, both federal and provincial governments are paying closer attention to the needs and wants of Canada's major cities."
