The echoes of Laurier's remarks about Canada and the twentieth
century are taking a long time to fade away. It is one of the
purposes of Professor Johnson's Alan B. Plaunt Lectures (given at
Carleton University in 1962) to silence them, for they can prove
dangerous and misleading-like a siren song-in the formulation of
Canadian economic policy at this time. The success of the Common
Market, Britain's request for membership. President Kennedy's
desire for tariff flexibility and reductions in the United States,
and the recent stagnation in the North American economy
(accentuated in Canada by an emphasis on monetary stability)-these
are signs of change in the economic climate of the world. The
requisite adaptations are the most important problem facing those
who govern the economic life of this country, and they must be
faced realistically to ensure Canada's continuing economic growth.
Professor Johnson analyses his subject with his customary
authoritative skill and lucidity. Written in non-technical
language, this book presents an ideal summary of the contemporary
economic world as it affects Canada.
