About this title

Synopsis

"Canada's Balance of International Indebtedness, 1900-1913; An Inductive Study in the Theory of International Trade" is a seminal work in the field of economic history and international finance. Written by the distinguished economist Jacob Viner, this study provides a meticulous empirical analysis of Canada's financial relationships during a period of significant economic expansion and heavy capital import. The work serves as a rigorous practical application of classical trade theory, testing the mechanisms of international price adjustments and the transfer of capital across borders.

Viner examines the various components of Canada's balance of payments, including trade balances, service items, and the massive inflow of foreign investment that characterized the early 20th century. By grounding theoretical principles in comprehensive statistical data, the book offers deep insights into how a developing economy manages large-scale indebtedness and the subsequent impact on domestic price levels and currency. This volume remains a foundational text for scholars interested in the history of the gold standard, the evolution of the Canadian economy, and the inductive verification of economic models. Its methodology and clarity of thought continue to provide significant value for students of international trade theory and economic history alike.
