Opis

Cutting a broad swath through the history of twentieth-century Canada, Greg Donaghy uses extensive interviews and untapped archival sources to challenge the prevailing view of Martin as simply an ambitious Windsor ward heeler and party operator. Rather, Donaghy shows that Martin drew from the liberalism of John stuart Mill and the contemporary social teachings of his Catholic Church and its key thinkers to fashion a reformist politics that defended the individual against both unbridled capitalism and the authoritarian state .
