A recurring theme in the analysis of both class and elite groups is that Canada has found itself in the middle of the twentieth century with inadequate institutional arrangements for the industrial society it has become. Its educational systems have failed to provide the necessary skills which in large measure have been recruited through immigration. Its elites have been drawn largely from middle and upper class "British charter groups." The author further submits that the strong emphasis in the Canadian value system on regionalism and ethnic differentiation has resulted in the fragmentation of the society, particularly at the political level, and lef tit incapable of dealing with some of its major problems as an industrial society. Although this is a sociological study in which evidence in related to social theory, the author has tried to avoid technical terms, and this, together with the particular relevance at the present time of a discussion of the nature of Canadian society, will make this book interesting tolaymen as well as specialists. 410 0$aStudies in the structure of power, decision-making in Canada ;$v2. 606 $aSocial classes$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial classes 676 $a301.440971 700 $aPorter$b John$f1921-1979,$01012880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780558003321 996 $aThe vertical mosaic$92353291 997 $aUNINA
