ABSTRACT
It is only a conjecture that economics in Canada, after 1970, was not simply absorbed into some putative United States cultural imperialism, but, rather, integrated itself into an emerging, dominant, North American, if not global, discourse. Even suggesting the lines of an hypothesis would require an excursion into the generality of modern economic thought that is well beyond the scope of an history of Canadian economics. It is possible, however, to explore the conjecture by recounting Canadian economic thought as if the conjecture were correct. If the facts and events so recounted do not violate the rules of observation and reason, then we have an indication that the conjecture is worth consideration.
