Paperback, 8vo (23 cm), 216 pp. Text in English. Cover faded, otherwise in good condition. A significant study produced by the Science Council of Canada in the late 1970s, this work examines the structural weaknesses of Canadian industry through a technological lens. Britton and Gilmour argue that underinvestment in research and development, combined with dependency on foreign technology, limited Canada’s industrial competitiveness. The book reflects a pivotal moment in Canadian policy debates, balancing scholarly analysis with recommendations for national innovation strategy. Now increasingly uncommon, it provides an important perspective on the history of Canadian industrial development and economic policy.
