    The course concentrates first on Mercantilist theory and practice vis-a-vis Canadian development, then turns to Innis’ “Staples Theory”. Finally, modern economic theory is used to analyse a number of controversies in Canadian economic history, in particular the rejection of the staples model by Chambers and Gordon and the dispute regarding the economic impact of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854. The relation between these historical controversies and current concern about Canadians “selling-off their heritage” will conclude the course.
