Description

In this collection of essays, leading experts in the field of public policy discuss some of the main issues confronting Canadians as we approach a new century: Do we need less government or more? Is the retreat of government in fact serving the public good? Can our political parties provide effective national government? Their answers and resulting proposals for economic and social policies and for political parties and institutions provide a challenging variety of views on the ways in which government can best advance the public good in the future.
