The book argues against the Bank of Canada's contemporary effort to achieve zero inflation through a policy of high short-term interest rates, through which it hoped to put more money in the hands of indebted consumers and thereby generate jobs and tax revenues. The authors maintained that the cost of government cutbacks was too high to be sustained, and that alternative approaches existed to cut deficits--approaches they outline in this volume.
Unnecessary Debts offers a penetrating analysis of the malaise that affected the Canadian economy in the 1990s, and suggests humane alternatives to relentless government cutbacks.
