Maturing in Hard Times

Canada's Department of Finance through the Great Depression

By: Robert B. Bryce

Focusing on the causes and extent of the Depression of the 1930s and its impact on a wide range of governmental policies, Bryce describes the department's increasing involvement in the formation and conduct of economic policies. The department was involved in events ranging from the collapse of the gold standard in 1931, to the possible default of the governments of the western provinces, to the introduction of federal unemployment and housing policies, to the founding of the Bank of Canada. Bryce presents a fascinating portrait of the early Department of Finance and the informality of the policy process in what was obviously a smaller, simpler Ottawa. From the vantage point of his years of experience within the department, he offers insightful analyses of the central economic issues of this century.

International Economic Co-Operation and the World Bank

International Economic Co-Operation and the World Bank

By: Robert W. Oliver

On December 14, 1945, the House of Commons voted 314 to 50 to ratify the Agreements negotiated at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, nearly a year and a half earlier. Lord Keynes had returned from Washington to defend the Fund and the Bank, of which he and Harry White were the principal authors, as well as to justify an American loan to Britain - following President Harry S. Truman's abrupt postwar decision to terminate all land-lease assistance to its wartime allies, an event which induced the Conservative MP Robert Boothby, to declare: 'This is our economic Munich'. Today, fifty years later, virtually all the governments of the world have become members, and the capital subscriptions have increased many fold. But questions have arisen. Perhaps the Fund and the Bank should be merged. Some argue that fifty years are enough, at least for the Bank. Others believe that, while expansion should continue, the emphasis should be redirected toward the alleviation of poverty in Africa and southern Asia. This is an account of the historic events of the interwar years and after. It is also a story about the liberal philosophies of the political economists, primarily British and American, who produced two of the great international institutions of our time.

In addition to even more of the darkest stories from the lightless corners of the industry’s greatest minds, this issue also features “The Foster” by Eisner and GLAAD media award nominated writer Steve Orlando (Midnighter, Scarlet Witch) and A.L. Kaplan (DC Pride 2023, Stuff of Nightmares), a gruesome story delving into the realm of body horror and loneliness.

Politics and Public Debt

The Dominion, the Banks and Alberta's Social Credit

By: Robert Ascah

Through the window of history, Politics and Public Debt examines the influence of debt-holders over fiscal and economic policy-making by Canadian governments. Robert Ascah focuses on debt management issues faced by the Canadian government between 1930 and 1952, a time shaped by stresses of depression, war, and reconstruction. He takes special note of Alberta's historic default of 1936, an event as little known as it was defining for both the province's finances and the country's. In Politics and Public Debt, economists, political scientists, bankers, investors, historians, and students interested in Canadian politics, government and the future of public finance will find valuable background and perspective on a subject that affects us all.

Canada and the Cost of World War II

The International Operations of Canada's Department of Finance, 1939-1947

By: Robert Broughton Bryce

Bryce chronicles in splendid detail how the tiny and overburdened department in Ottawa worked behind the scenes to deal with the critical public policy challenges that accompanied World War II and postwar reconstruction. Canada's financial aid made it possible for Britain to wage an effective war and then deal with the destruction it wrought. Bryce details how Canada's Department of Finance can also be credited with overcoming some of Britain's most pressing balance-of-payments problems after the war.

Getting it Right

Regional Development in Canada

By: Robert Harley McGee,Institute of Public Administration of Canada

The federal government established the Department of Regional Economic Expansion (DREE) in 1969 and, four years later, released it from the traditional Ottawa-based departmental mould when it initiated a bold new decentralized approach to DREE's operations. DREE was dissolved in 1982 and replaced by a series of other experiments to improve regional economies.

Opening Doors: Life and Work of Joseph Schumpeter

Volume 2, America

By: Robert Loring Allen

The author puts this book in the best possible context by referring to the ""magisterial and paradoxical Dr. Schumpeter"". A figure in a rare class with John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich von Hayek, and Alfred Marshall, the work of Joseph Schumpeter is equalled only in monumental significance by his personal trials and tribulations. The work is divided into two volumes - the first covering his career in Europe and the second his life and achievements in America.Walt Rostow, in his Foreword, sums up Robert Loring Allen's achievement in biography and intellectual history thus: ""In dealing with Schumpeter's life, Allen exhibits a rare consciousness of the extraordinary complexity and only limited penetrability of the human personality Schumpeter's closely interwoven personal and professional life unfolds, Allen develops without dogmatism a pattern of linkages for the reader to contemplate. In a splendid final passage, he provides a memorable summation.""What makes this enormous effort so successful is the linkage of the personal and the professional, the biographical with the intellectual. Indeed, it is Schumpeter's single-minded determination to explain within a single, formal theory, the dynamics of capitalism that bridges the gap in space, time, and personality. To his books The Theory of Economic Development, and Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, both published by Transaction, is now added the specific contexts in which these and his other works were written.The author of this biography, like the subject himself, is a masterful student of the craft of economics, and its place within the larger social science contexts that Schumpeter worked. In this work, we are introduced into the main current of European and American social science alike. The title of the book, Opening Doors, derives from Schumpeter's life long aim to appeal to inquiring minds to move through such doors in an effort to create the social science of the
