Opis

A History of Canadian Economic Thought investigates the relationship between the evolution of economic theory in Canada and the particular geographical and political context of that theory. Theories and policies are analyzed by testing them against both the conditions to which they were applied and against competing theories. Canadian economics reflects a number of significant issues in Canadian history. Neill argues that there were distinctive economic movements in 19th-century Ontario and in early 20th-century Quebec, but that these have been displaced by an emerging North American discourse. The book includes accounts of the work of major figures in Canadian economics, including John Rae, H.A.Innis and Harry Johnson.
