First published in 1983 and widely recognized as a definitive work in Canadian political economy, Not for Export examines the history of Canadian industrial development, from John A. Macdonald"s National Policy of 1879 to Brian Mulroney"s regional free trade agreements of recent years. Despite a high standard of living and a high level of technological know-how, Canada has exhibited a suprisingly low level of industrial development. Resource-based exports, dependence on foreign investment, and branch-plant manufacturing for the Canadian market have all been contributing factors to Canada"s poor industrial performance. In fact, by any of various standards, such as manufactured exports and research and development, Canada is at or near the bottom in industrial performance relative to other industrialized nations. The failure over the years, Williams concludes, has been one of missed opportunities and short-term political solutions. This completely revised and updated edition of Not for Export looks at present Canadian industrial performance and future potential for an improved economy through the trifocal lens of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the significantly expanded GATT agreement of December, 1993. While the future of Canadian industry is not as bleak as raw comparative data might suggest, political will and renewed business determination will be required for Canada to become a leading actor in the emerging global economy. The alternative - as a high-wage, low productivity economy - is for Canada to remain a regional satellite to the overwhelming United States economy, which itself is under increasing global economic pressure from the European Community and countries of the Far East.
