Hanson's Financial History of Alberta, 1905-1950 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Eric Hanson Albertas first, and arguably greatest, economist wrote a number of influential books on federal-provincial relations, education finance, health care finance, and energy economics. His doctoral thesis was entitled A Financial History of Alberta, 1905-1950 and was found by Paul Boothe at the University of Alberta library while Boothe was doing research on Alberta government spending almost forty-five years after it was written. This "forgotten gem" sheds light on the institutional, economic, and public development of the province from a financial perspective. With a detailed and analytical introduction, this edited work provides historical perspective on the perennial problems facing Alberta's fiscal managers: wildly fluctuating revenues, in-migration, seemingly insatiable demands for infrastructure, high-quality public services, and resistance to taxes while exuding an optimistic attitude for the future.

Download and read online ebook Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark write by Mary Janigan. This book was released on 2013-08-27. Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The first big book on one of the most overlooked episodes in Canadian history, and the origin of today's greatest national debate, Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark relives the 1918 attempt by 3 premiers to wrest control of their natural resources away from Ottawa--and end their role as second-class provinces. The oil sands. Global warming. The National Energy Program. Though these seem like modern Canadian subjects, Mary Janigan reveals them to be a legacy of longstanding regional rivalry. Something of a "Third Solitude" since entering Confederation, the West has long been overshadowed by Canada's other great national debate. But as the conflict over natural resources and their effect on climate change heats up, 150 years of antipathy are coming to a head. Janigan takes readers back to a pivotal moment in 1918, when Canada's western premiers descended on Ottawa determined to control their own future--and as Margaret MacMillan did in Paris 1919, she deftly illustrates how the results reverberate to this day.

Occasionally, and if we are very fortunate, we meet someone who inspires us. Arnold Platt was such a person—he influenced and inspired many people whose lives he touched. His accomplishments suggest his genius, but as he chose the path of influence rather than power, his contributions were seldom credited publicly. How he came to have that influence and how he used it is a good story. But his story is also an illustration of agriculture’s role in shaping Canada’s political, economic, and social life in the twentieth century.
