Abstract

Taken together, these three short monographs tell a portion of the story of how the Canadian federal civil service embraced and applied Keynesian ideas during the Second World War. Parts of the tale have been told elsewhere and with considerably more finesse; others have been generally overlooked and receive their first full explanation here in the work of Enid Barnett. Unfortunately, important components of the application of Keynesian ideas in the Canadian context are missing entirely from these volumes, and thus the series as a whole is incomplete and offers only a partial introduction to the complexities of wartime finance and reconstruction planning.
