Best known as Canada's first native-born Governor General, he chaired the landmark Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters, and Sciences that led to the creation of the Canada Council. The Force of Culture examines Massey's notion of culture, its conflicted roots in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Canadian Protestant thought, and Massey's transformation into a champion of culture as a bastion of Canadian sovereignty.Karen Finlay's study goes beyond existing literature by examining the role of Massey's Methodist upbringing in instilling an education gospel as the bedrock of culture and the foundation of a national citizenry. The study also reassesses Massey's reputation as a supporter of the fine arts. Steeped in Methodism, his attitudes towards the arts were ambiguous. He never adopted a purely art-for-art's sake doctrine, but came to understand that the arts, without being moralizing, could serve a moral and cultural purpose: the expression and affirmation of national character and sovereignty.As well as charting Massey's evolving attitudes towards culture and the arts, Finlay attempts to redress the common charges of sexism, elitism, and anglophonism levelled against him. Finlay stresses Massey's contradictory views on issues relating to gender, race, and class, outweighed by the ongoing legacy of his belief in Canadian cultural diversity. Above all, Massey valorized the principles of excellence and diversity as twin antidotes to the anathema of conformity and cultural homogenization. The tenet Massey sought to honour, pertaining deeply to the collective and moral nature of humanism in Canada, Finlay argues, was community without uniformity. The Force of Culture shows that Massey was, in certain respects, a democratizer and even a populist, who believed that difference need not divide.

However, extensive fiscal consolidation and internal devaluation have come at a high cost to society, reflected in declining incomes and exceptionally high unemployment. Growth is projected to accelerate in the next few years, conditional on a full and timely implementation of the authorities? adjustment program. On the basis of Greece?s current policy adjustment program, long-term growth is expected to reach just under 1 percent, and the primary fiscal surplus is projected to come in at about 1.5 percent of GDP. Downside risks to the macroeconomic and fiscal outlook remain significant. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2017/040 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aIndustries: Financial Services$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aSocial Security and Public Pensions$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aPensions$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aNonperforming loans$2imf 606 $aTax administration core functions$2imf 606 $aPension spending$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aIncome and capital gains taxes$2imf 606 $aTaxes$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aLoans$2imf 606 $aTax administration and procedure$2imf 606 $aIncome tax$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 607 $aGreece$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGreece$xEconomic policy 607 $aGreece$2imf 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aIndustries: Financial Services 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aSocial Security and Public Pensions 615 7$aPersonal Income and Other Nonbusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aPensions 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aNonperforming loans 615 7$aTax administration core functions 615 7$aPension spending 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aWages 615 7$aIncome and capital gains taxes 615 7$aTaxes 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aLoans 615 7$aTax administration and procedure 615 7$aIncome tax 615 7$aIncome economics 676 $a330.938 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165034703321 996 $aGREECE$9112492 997 $aUNINA
