"The Decay of Trade is the most impressive work by the late David Alexander, the
Atlantic region's foremost economic historian."--Labour
A detailed enquiry into the decline of a once-great industry situated on one of the world's
richest fishery banks. The impact of post-war international monetary and trade factors, the growing
continental orientation of Canadian economic policies, political tensions within and between
Newfoundland and Canada, the emergence of persistent problems of high unemployment, low
incomes and the loss of production to foreign fishing fleets, all contributed to the trade's
collapse.
"A careful description grounded on detailed research; illuminated by perceptive
analysis and enlivened by shrewd comment."--Acadiensis
