It has been 80 years since the beginning of what later became known as the “great depression”. Canada made many of the same mistakes that the United States made when it came to economics and state intervention in the market that Herbert Hoover and FDR did.
A quote from R.B. Bennett (Conservative PM of Canada, August 7, 1930 – October 23, 1935) On his own Canadian take on the New Deal
“In my mind reform means government intervention. It means government control and regulation. It means the end of Laissez-faire …. I summon the power of the state to it’s support”
We are on the verge of another great depression as we speak, and the powers that be seem intent on making many of the same mistakes.
In this climate of stimulus packages, bailouts and the European social welfare state disintegrating before our eyes, we in Canada felt we could stand on the sidelines no longer. The teachings of the Austrian school need to be disseminated far and wide, so people can see through the machinations of our financial class and be provided the knowledge necessary to challenge those who would claim the right to control our economic lives.
Within these pages you will find the beginnings of the centre for Austrian school in Canada – we look forward to your contribution – whether as a reader, a writer, or simply a supporter of our vision.
In the next year we look forward to hosting a conference in Canada for scholars of the Austrian school, and will be actively researching and posting the works of Austrian and Libertarian scholars from Canada.
Please contact us with your comments, questions, and suggestions – we encourage an open dialogue with regards to the future of the Austrian School in Canada.
