The Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress, 2001: The Longest Decade : Canada in the 1990s (Institute for Research on Public Policy) [Paperback] Banting, Keith G.; Sharpe, Andrew and St-Hilaire, France

This new series will provide in-depth examinations of specific aspects of our economic performance and social progress, often using new data sets, and analyze the two-way linkages and interaction between economic performance and social progress. The theme of the first issue of the annual is whether the various components of economic performance in the 1990s have contributed to social progress. The authors question whether there is still a strong relationship running from economic performance to social progress and if there are instances where social progress is impeded by certain trends in economic performance.
