About this audiobook
In this timely and insightful new book, Stephen J. Harper, Canada's 22nd Prime Minister, draws on a decade of experience as a G-7 leader to help leaders in business and government understand, adapt, and thrive in an age of unprecedented disruption.
The world is in flux. Disruptive technologies, ideas, and politicians are challenging business models, norms, and political conventions everywhere. How we, as leaders in business and politics, choose to respond matters greatly. Some voices refuse to concede the need for any change, while others advocate for radical realignment. But neither of these positions can sustainably address the legitimate concerns of disaffected citizens.
Right Here, Right Now sets out a pragmatic, forward-looking vision for leaders in business and politics by analyzing how economic, social, and public policy trends—including globalized movements of capital, goods, and services, and labor—have affected our economies, communities, and governments.
Harper contends that Donald Trump's surprise election and governing agenda clearly signal that political, economic, and social institutions must be more responsive to legitimate concerns about public policy, market regulation, immigration, and technology.
Urging listeners to look past questions of style and gravitas, Harper thoughtfully examines the substantive underpinnings of how and why Donald Trump was able to succeed Barack Obama as President of the United States, and how these forces are manifesting themselves in other western democracies.
Analyzing international trade, market regulation, immigration, technology, and the role of government in the digital economy, Harper lays out the case for pragmatic leadership as a proven solution to the uncertainty and risk that businesses and governments face today.
Stephen J. Harper
Like millions of other Canadians, Stephen Harper developed his love for hockey at a young age as he played at the arenas and on the shiny rinks and roads of his hometown. Today, long retired from his on-ice “career” with the Leaside Lions, he is the twenty-second Prime Minister of Canada and is happily married to Laureen, who, with their children Ben and Rachel, live in Calgary and Ottawa. A member of the Society of International Hockey Research with a particular interest in the early decades of the game, Mr. Harper is an amateur historian interested in exploring the sport’s impact on the people and places that define Canada. A Great Game is his first published work on the game of hockey.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As someone that dislikes politics & politicians this book was great to listen to because I agreed with what Steven Harper said, just made common sense. The comments about the liberals & radical left-wing is true yet most people can't see it or society today doesn't care. The media lied about him & why he made curtain decisions which he explained here. This book will not make me a conservative party supporter but vote for someone who thinks the same as Steven Harper. The left-wing radicals in Canada's parliament & there special interest groups are too dangerous to Canada & it's people. Justin Trudeau is delusional, a left-wing radical & out of touch with reality.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very well done book, a great look into a great mind.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book brilliantly written with the most moral intentions of helping leaders around the world make the proper corrections to avoid the impending disaster of left wing populism.
