EXCERPT: INTRODUCTION This third volume of the Walter L. Gordon Lecture Series continues in the tradition of the previous volumes. Canadian issues are treated in broad, panoramic perspective. The theme of this volume is An Economic Strategy for Canada. The authors offer critical assessments of many of our present policies continuing in the spirit and intention of the friends of Walter Gordon who founded the series . . . Taken together the three lectures in all their candour, realism and perceptive insight offer us some vital milestones on the road to the future. - Abraham Rotstein, Department of Political Economy, University of Toronto.
