Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a 1915 British Columbia Agricultural Credit Act, intended to help farmers increase production in a rapidly developing region. The act, a consolidation of several other agricultural acts, created a non-political commission to administer the new credit system, and provided for the creation of single-season loans, short-dated loans, and long-dated loans for permanent improvements. The author presents an overview of the economic conditions that led to the passage of the legislation, including the need to increase agricultural productivity in the province and the lack of access to financing for farmers. The book also delves into the ideological debates surrounding the act, with some critics arguing that it would lead to excessive borrowing and speculation, while proponents argued that it was necessary to stimulate economic growth. The author provides a balanced perspective on these debates, ultimately arguing that the act was a significant step forward in the development of agricultural policy in British Columbia and a valuable case study for understanding the role of government in supporting economic development.
