About this listen
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 labour--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 readers 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.

Critic Reviews
#1 National Bestseller
“[Harper’s] book is a rallying cry for rational, pragmatic political response to the challenges faced by the middle class. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, Right Here, Right Now is worth a read.”
—Toronto Sun
“In Right Here, Right Now, the former Canadian prime minister addresses the growing disaffection in Western countries, and the ensuing political disruption.”
—Bloomberg
“With Right Here, Right Now, [Harper] has made a convincing case that the cozy assumptions shared by all parties in this country may need to be revised.”
—Vancouver Sun
“[The current political] context gives the book an urgency that’s usually lacking from ex-politicians’ waltzes down memory lane. . . . Harper delivers a series of surprising and worthwhile insights.”
—Maclean’s
“Interesting and lively.”
—Financial Post
“Right Here, Right Now [is] a story with a positive message to convey, about how earnestly listening to regular peoples’ concerns amidst this era of populist disruption can help re-align public policy to the advantage of all.”
—Toronto Sun
“Canada’s former prime minister has returned to the arena. . . . He’s a commentator with several messages to impart . . . [and] many readers will nod in agreement with at least some of the points that [he] makes.”
—Troy Media
“Harper’s Right Here, Right Now offers a well-compiled set of thoughts and insights as to what the driving forces behind the recent populist insurgencies worldwide are and how conservatives should address them.”
—Post Millennial
“When prime ministers leave office, they usually write their autobiographies. . . . Stephen Harper, Canada’s prime minister from early 2006 to late 2015, is different. Instead of penning a self-serving account of his decade-long tenure, spinning history and settling scores with rivals or the press, he has written an important book on politics and leadership in the age of disruption.”
