Sommario/riassunto: | "In Good Government? Good Citizens? W.A. Bogart explores the evolving concept of the citizen in Canada, focusing on three determining forces: courts, politics, and markets. He scrutinizes the role of these institutions in our society to show how they've changed and how they've been instrumental in reshaping our relationship with the state and with each other. Tackling important questions about public-goods, the protection of rights, and the growth of laissez-faire, he demonstrates just how vital a role representative politics should play in our lives."--Jacket |
