The Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress 2001 – Volume 1: The Longest Decade: Canada in the 1990s

The inaugural volume of the Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress, a book series established in 2001 through a collaboration between the Centre for the Study of Living Standards and the Institute for Research on Public Policy. The series was founded on two fundamental beliefs: that the integration of economic and social objectives lies at the heart of the policy agenda, and that the quality of life Canadians will enjoy for decades to come depends in important ways on how well we meet that challenge. This first volume takes stock of Canada’s 1990s across four parts — concepts and measurement of economic performance and social progress; public views of the economy; the role of public policy; and Canada’s economic, social and environmental record — drawing on seventeen contributors from economics, political science and public policy.
