The political economy of Canada

"Debates on the role of the state and the viability of Canadian economic development are especially intense during periods of change, such as the contemporary era of globalization. In this completely revised, updated, and enlarged second edition of The Political Economy of Canada, Professors Howlett, Netherton, and Ramesh outline the principal structural elements of the Canadian political economy and describe the importance of such factors as resources, social class, and international trade.

The authors stress the significance of political institutions at the national, international, and subnational levels that substantially affect the production and distribution of wealth."--BOOK JACKET.
