Description: "Robert Ascah focuses on debt management issues faced by the Canadian government between 1930 and 1952, a time shaped by the stresses of depression, war and reconstruction. He takes special note of Alberta's historic default of 1936, an event as little known as it was defining for both the province's finances and the country's."--BOOK JACKET.
