Widely recognized as a definitive work in Canadian political economy, this re-issue of Not For Export includes the complete 1994 Third Edition along with an Appendix, drawn from the First Edition, outlining the staples theories of Innis and Mackintosh.. Review of the First Edition: Williams’ international perspective, his clear-headedness about Canada’s position in the world economy, and his analysis of the relative autonomy of the Canadian state in industrial policy should recommend this extended essay to all students of Canadian political economy. - H.V. Nelles, Canadian Historical Review Review of the Third Edition: For students who may be coming to this work for the first time, the author offers a rigorous analysis of the development of industrial policy in this country… Williams skillfully highlights not only why certain policies and approaches were favoured but how each step was conditioned by past practices and attitudes and, in turn, influenced future developments. One is provided with a tapestry of Canadian political economy which does justice to the leading events in our economic past. - David Johnson, Canadian Journal of Political Science
