The Transition to Reality
Directions for Canadian Industrial Strategy
by John Shepherd
The Transition to Reality is a bracing and often contrary entry into the vibrant political economy debates of the early 1980s.
First published in 1980, The Transition to Reality is a look into Canada's industrial health, or lack thereof.
Author John Shepherd criticizes the contemporary lack of a conscious industrial strategy in Canada, asserting that the need for a coherent policy was masked by essentially ephemeral manufacturing growth in the 1960s. He suggests policymakers focus on the mechanics of producing wealth, rather than merely distributing it.
