| Summary |
"Globalization - seemingly the dominant economic force of this era - is a phenomenon that invites misrepresentation and exaggeration. One of its results has been to introduce several false premises into the country's policy debates. So says William Watson, whose new book draws on economics and history to pose interesting challenges to modes of thinking that have become habitual in late twentieth-century Canadian life."--Jacket. |
