The Great Economic Debate: Failed Economics and a Future for CanadaJames Lorimer & Company, 1 січ. 1987 р. - 440 стор. In The Great Economic Debate, Cy Gonick shows how economic theories work--and how they don't work. As economists argue in circles, the closed nature of the Great Economic Debate puts Canada's future in peril. Building on his provocative analysis of the strengths and flaws of classic economic theories, the author takes a fresh, wide-ranging look at the Canadian malaise. Canada's future lies not in the ornate models of conservatives, post-Keynesians or social democrats, Gonick says, but in a rejuvenation of democracy in the community and in the workplace. Eschewing traditional economic theories, The Great Economic Debate expresses Cy Gonick's unique vision of economic recovery, strengthening his reputation as one of Canada's most insightful political economists. |

Сторінка 31 - Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.
Сторінка 31 - But apart from this contemporary mood, the ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood.

Сторінка 49 - No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.

Сторінка 80 - The love of money as a possession — as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life — will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semicriminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease.
Сторінка 64 - The produce of the earth — all that is derived from its surface by the united application of labour, machinery, and capital, is divided among three classes of the community: namely, the proprietor of the land, the owner of the stock or capital necessary for its cultivation, and the labourers by whose industry it is cultivated.
Сторінка 68 - ... mutilate the labourer into a fragment of a man, degrade him to the level of an appendage of a machine, destroy every remnant of charm in his work and turn it into a hated toil; they estrange from him the intellectual potentialities of the labour-process in the same proportion as science is incorporated in it as an independent power...
