Étude comparative de la pensée économique canadienne-française et canadienne-anglaise durant l'entre-deux-guerres
The interwar period represents a period of transition in the evolution of the economic thought in Canada. The economic and social context of the 1920-1940’s was highly favorable to the expansion of new ideas and new approaches. In the face of the crisis, economists and intellectuals began to question the fundamentals of capitalism and the market economy. Under the influence of Keynesianism and Corporatism in conjunction with the professionalization of the discipline, economists’ approach to issues of public policy changed considerably during the period. I study the two major political-economy journals, L’Actualité économique, and the Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science, as well as the work of leading economists of the time, Harold A. Innis, W. A. Mackintosh, Esdras Minville and Édouard Montpetit, to showcase new economic approaches to the changing social and economic realities of Canada.
