Kari Levitt details the historical background of foreign investments in Canada, their acceleration since World War II, and the nature of intrusions by multinational corporations into a sovereign state. Silent Surrender was prophetic in predicting that the ultimate consequence of relinquishing control of the Canadian economy to United States business interests would be political disintegration through the balkanization of the country and its eventual piecemeal absorption into the American imperial system. Republished with a new preface by noted scholar Mel Watkins and a postscript by the author, Silent Surrender's basic argument and underlying economic analysis remain remarkably fresh, particularly the question of whether cultural integration into continental American life has proceeded to a point where Canada is no longer a meaningful national community. 410 0$aCarleton library series ;$v196. 606 $aCorporations, American$zCanada 606 $aCorporations, Foreign$zCanada 606 $aSocie?te?s ame?ricaines$zCanada 606 $aSocie?te?s e?trange?res$zCanada 615 0$aCorporations, American 615 0$aCorporations, Foreign 615 6$aSocie?te?s ame?ricaines 615 6$aSocie?te?s e?trange?res 676 $a332.67/373071 700 $aLevitt$b Kari$01696648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814121203321 996 $aSilent surrender$94076761 997 $aUNINA
