Par Myrna Kostash. 2000

attempt to validate or dismantle these claims, went across the country interviewing a diverse group of young professionals. She also attempted to see how the younger generation's ideals compared to those of her own, who had come of age in the 1960's and 70's. Talking to everyone from auto-workers and artists to investment brokers, union organizers and television producers, Kostash then interprets her findings and forecasts the prospects of a national identity for future Canadians. 2000.Fox introduces a new wave of economists and scholars who no longer teach that investors are rational or that the…
markets are always right. Many of them now agree that the efficient markets theory is wrong and that it's given way to counterintuitive hypotheses about human behaviour, psychological models of decision making, and the irrationality of the markets. In his treatment of the history of the world's markets, Fox uncovers the new ideas that may come to drive the market in the century ahead. 2009.The mind's eye

really rational behaviour? And how come your boss is so overpaid? In fact, the behaviour of even the unlikeliest of individuals - prostitutes, drug addicts, racists and revolutionaries - complies with economic logic, taking into account future costs and benefits, even if we don't quite realise it. We are rational beings after all. 2008.Les travailleurs face au pouvoir

The fearsome dilemma: simultaneous inflation and unemployment
Par Alex N McLeod. 1994
An economist discusses the problem of how inflation and unemployment have been managed since 1939. McLeod notes that while inflation…
has been controlled in most industrialized countries, economic output has remained below capacity, and so unemployment has been high. McLeod argues that the instruments now used to control inflation are inadequate, and often make unemployment worse. He presents several possible approaches which might avoid this dilemma. 1994.The affluent society
Par John Kenneth Galbraith. 1958
Conventional wisdom has it that John Kenneth Galbraith's "The Affluent Society" spawned the neoliberalism we see in Bill Clinton, Tony…
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.Shooting the hippo: death by deficit and other Canadian myths

Dépossession: une histoire économique du Québec contemporain : tome 1 (Futur proche)
Par Simon Tremblay-Pepin, Institut de recherche et d'informations socio-économiques. 2015
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.Les sytèmes économiques ((Que sais-je? ; 753).)
