The Government Generation: Canadian Intellectuals and the State 1900-1945

By Doug Owram

War, depression, secularization, urbanization, and the rise of industry - between 1900 and 1945 Canada struggled with all these developments and from them was born the modern welfare state. Doug Owram looks at that debate and those who engaged in the wisdom of planning and reform, and on practical schemes for their realization.
