Blair, and other world leaders. The economist's prose, lofty but still easily manageable, laid down the gauntlet for the post-cold war class struggle that was still far in the future in 1958. Galbraith saw the widening gap between the richest and the poorest as an emergent threat to economic stability, and proposed significant investment in parks, transportation, education, and other public amenities - what we now call infrastructure - to ameliorate these differences and postpone depression and revolution indefinitely. 1958.Par Robert Silverberg. 1963

À qui profitent les ressources du Québec ? Qui contrôle nos forêts, nos mines et les produits de nos terres…
agricoles ? Qui choisit la voie qu'empruntera notre développement hydro-électrique ? Qui décide du sort de nos réserves d'eau potable ? Si, depuis la Révolution tranquille, nous sommes vraiment «maîtres chez nous», d'où vient ce sentiment que nos ressources sont encore pillées? Dépossession répond à ces questions persistantes, attaquant l'idée - chère à l'imaginaire québécois - selon laquelle le projet de souveraineté économique des années 1960-1970 est accompli. 2015.Par Joseph Lajugie. 1957
