Description
Book SynopsisIn Inequality in Canada Eric Sager considers one of the defining – but hardest to define – ideas of our era and traces its different meanings and contexts across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Trade Review"This is intellectual history at its best and Eric Sager is at the top of his game: confident, but never arrogant, comfortable with his sources, and critical, in the best sense of that word. Inequality in Canada is a masterful piece of scholarship." Donald Wright, University of New Brunswick
"As we think about where we have been and where we want to be, one useful starting place is Eric Sager's Inequality in Canada, which offers a detailed account of how politicians, preachers, economists, and editorialists have articulated and debated the issue since colonial days. Sager's concluding chapter, "To Explore and to Know Again," is so passionate, wise, sad, and engaging that readers should try to stay with him to the end." Literary Review of Canada
