Canadian Economic History by M.H. Watkins Pdf

Contemporary methodologies include the "cliometric" style of historical analysis, econometrics, labour and regional study, and the changing parameters of government spending and public finance. The juxtaposition of classic theoretical statements with works by "outsiders" such as G.S. Kealey, B.D. Palmer, R.T. Naylor, R.E Ommer, among others, makes this a solid yet innovative record of the progress in economics over the last forty years. Canadian Economic History remains an essential classroom text.

Perspectives on Canadian Economic History by Douglas McCalla,Michael Menuhin Huberman Pdf

The second edition of Perspectives on Canadian Economic History collects fourteen recent essays demonstrating current approaches to economic history. Beginning with the eighteenth century fur trade and concluding with twentieth century changes to domestic labour, these essays focus on issues such as resource depletion, business organization, and the value of women's times. In their informative introductions, the editors encourage readers to question the authors' premises and methodologies--both economics and history, they remind us, are interpretative.

Select Documents in Canadian Economic History 1783-1885 by Harold A. Innis,Arthur R.M. Lower Pdf

This second volume of economic documents resumes the story of the development of Canada as told by contemporary sources. Newspaper accounts of economic forces and factors, contemporary writings by statesmen and business men, poems depicting current situations, official documents—all have been included. The volume divides the period into two eras, 1783-1850 and 1850-85. The basis of classification of entries is by topics and geographic sections. It is hoped that the material which follows will amplify and illustrate the blend of materialistic and non-materialistic factors which has determined the nature of Canadian history and will allow students in Canadian universities to study with some degree of fullness the development of the economic institutions of their native land.

Rethinking Canadian Economic Growth and Development since 1900 by Vincent Geloso Pdf

This book upturns many established ideas regarding the economic and social history of Quebec, the Canadian province that is home to the majority of its French population. It places the case of Quebec into the wider question of convergence in economic history and whether proactive governments delay or halt convergence. The period from 1945 to 1960, infamously labelled the Great Gloom (Grande Noirceur), was in fact a breaking point where the previous decades of relative decline were overturned – Geloso argues that this era should be considered the Great Convergence (Grand Rattrapage). In opposition, the Quiet Revolution that followed after 1960 did not accelerate these trends. In fact, there are signs of slowing down and relative decline that appear after the 1970s. The author posits that the Quiet Revolution sowed the seeds for a growth slowdown by crowding-out social capital and inciting rent-seeking behaviour on the part of interest groups.
