Inhaltsangabe

This book presents a comprehensive study of the sixty-year history of the Canadian protectionist movement in relation to industry from 1846 to 1907. The author, an experienced political journalist, has examined the era politically and socially through analysis of Canadian Hansards, Parliamentary papers, and the memoirs of statesmen. He reveals how the movement for free trade and reciprocity gave way to the establishment in 1878 of the National Policy--a system of protectionism named after the Conservative politicians who first advanced it. The book explores the development of the National Policy under both Liberal and Conservative governments over the ensuing decades, with the movement facing challenges and compromises in the face of changing economic and political realities. The author concludes that the movement had a dramatic impact on Canadian industry, politics, and society as a whole, with its legacy still resonating in the country's present-day economic policies.
