How Keynes Came to Canada

Robert Dimand

Chapter Chapter 3 in Keynes for the Twenty-First Century, 2008, pp 57-79 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Canada has attracted little attention from historians of economic thought studying the international spread of economic ideas. It was omitted, for instance, from a conference volume on the international diffusion of Keynesianism (Hall 1991) and from a History of Political Economy supplement on the post-1945 internationalization of economics. John Kenneth Galbraith (1965), writing on “How Keynes Came to America,” included a passing mention of Robert Bryce taking Keynesian ideas from Cambridge to Ottawa, because Bryce conducted a study group on Keynes while a graduate student at Harvard before returning to Canada. However, Bryce’s career is by no means the whole story of “How Keynes Came to Canada,” nor is that story a mere repetition of the experience of other countries.
