Synopsis
This reissue in one volume of the 1975 classic tells the story, sometimes grand, more often sordid, of the development of Canadian big business - of banks and railways, industrial trusts and commercial cartels - from Confederation to the First World War. It is at once a treatise on economic development and of what would today be called white collar crime.
Broadly praised and roundly condemned at the time of publication, since then The History of Canadian Business has been acknowledged by the Social Sciences Federation of Canada as one of the most outstanding works ever written in Canadian economic history, on a par with Harold Innis's The Fur Trade In Canada.
