The Truth about Canada
Author: Mel HurtigPublisher: Douglas Gibson Books
ISBN: 1551992698
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Renowned as a passionate Canadian, bestselling author Mel Hurtig has combed through world statistics to see how Canada really measures up — and the results are astonishing, and often shocking. This book is about how Canada has changed, very much for the worse, in the last twenty years. As a result of these profound (often hidden) changes, we are no longer the people we think we are. To take one example, the Canadian media usually leaves us with the impression that Canadians are really heavily taxed. Yes, compared to the U.S.A., the usual point of comparison. No, compared to other countries with our standard of living, other OECD countries, for example; there we come in 23rd on the high-tax scale. The shocks in this book build up, chapter by chapter. How do we rank in the world in voter turnout? Try 109th. Number of physicians per 100,000 population? Try 54th. Our rank in reducing pollution? 126th out of 146 countries. Some of the statistics are internal, comparing Canada then and now. They back up two of the book’s most powerful themes: the failure of Canadian big business to turn record profits into ongoing investment in our country, and (no coincidence) the sellout of our assets at a rate that no other country would allow. This statistics-based book ranges across all areas of our lives — including health, wages, productivity, culture, the media (“the most concentrated in the world”), and much else. Mel Hurtig’s message is that we can’t do anything to fix the direction we’re drifting in unless we recognize it — and recognize The Truth About Canada.
Canadian Macroeconomics

ISBN: 1319017886
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 765
Book Description
This special edition of Greg Mankiw’s intermediate macroeconomics textbook takes the same approach that made the parent text a bestseller, but with coverage shaped to address fiscal policy, monetary/exchange-rate policy, deficit reduction, and other critical economic issues from the uniquely Canadian perspective. Like Mankiw’s Macroeconomics, the Canadian edition teaches fundamentals by relating theoretical concepts to big issues and policy debates, but illustrates those ideas and discussions with examples and cases from Canada, as well as research by Canadian economists.

The Canadian Century
Author: Brian Lee Crowley Jason Clemens Niels VeldhuisPublisher: eBookIt.com
ISBN: 1456602462
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
One hundred years ago a great Canadian, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, predicted that the twentieth century would belong to Canada. He had a plan to make it so. What happened? Canada lost sight of Laurier's plan and failed to claim its century, dwelling instead in the long shadow of the United States. No more! Co-authors Brian Crowley, Jason Clemens and Niels Veldhuis envision Canada's emergence as an economic and social power. They argue, while the United States was busy precipitating a global economic disaster, Canada was on a path that could lead it into an era of unprecedented prosperity. It won't be easy. We must be prepared to follow through on reforms enacted and complete the work already begun. If so, Canada will become the country that Laurier foretold, a land of work for all who want it, of opportunity, investment, innovation and prosperity. Laurier said that the twentieth century belonged to Canada. He was absolutely right; he was merely off by 100 years.

Degrees of Freedom
Author: Keith G. BantingPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773514485
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
The book's primary aim is to determine whether Canada and the United States have become more similar as their economies have become more integrated and their societies more diverse. The authors conclude that, although powerful economic and social pressures clearly constrain national governments and lead to convergence in some areas, distinctive cultural and political processes preserve room for distinctive national responses to important problems of the late twentieth century. Authors include Keith Banting, Paul Boothe (University of Alberta), Marsha Chandler (University of Toronto), George Hoberg, Robert Howse (University of Toronto), Christopher Manfredi (McGill University), George Perlin (Queen's University), Douglas Purvis (Queen's University), Richard Simeon, and Elaine Willis (consultant, Toronto).
