Review
'[In] the field of broad interpretation, no subsequent work has replaced The Fur Trade in Canada.' - Journal of Economic History
'A lively pace is maintained from the beginning of the book, and upon reaching Innis's conclusion, the reader finds that a much neglected aspect of Canadian history has been satisfactorily illuminated. For the collectors of Canadiana, researchers in need of background material, or the plain curious, this is an excellent book ... a diverting book, a controversial book, and a stimulating book ... It deserves to be read not just once, but many times and by many people.' - The Canadian Reader
