Paperback. Condizione: New. "When our new administration took over a year and a half ago.we saw uncontrolled spending," claimed Alberta Premier Ralph Klein in June, 1994. In fact, Alberta had the tightest controls on spending in Canada throughout the very period when the Klein government has claimed costs were soaring out of control. We are, says Taft, victims of politically induced amnesia and politically reconstructed history. Under Ralph Klein's government, public programs in Alberta-including health care-have become the most poorly supported in Canada. At the same time, the Alberta government has spent more on subsidies to the private sector than has any other province. Shredding the Public Interest delivers a brisk and highly readable critique of Alberta's creation and elimination of its deficit over the past quarter century.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Why have democratic governments failed to take serious steps to reduce carbon emissions despite dire warnings and compelling evidence of the profound and growing threat posed by global warming? Most of the writing on global warming is by scientists, academics, environmentalists, and journalists. Kevin Taft, a former leader of the opposition in Alberta, brings a fresh perspective through the insight he gained as an elected politician who had an insider's eyewitness view of the role of the oil industry. His answer, in brief: The oil industry has captured key democratic institutions in both Alberta and Ottawa.Taft begins his book with a perceptive observer's account of a recent court casein Ottawa which laid bare the tactics and techniques of the industry, its insiders and lobbyists. He casts dramatic new light on exactly how corporate lobbyists, politicians, bureaucrats, universities, and other organizations are working together to pursue the oil industry's agenda.He offers a brisk tour of the recent work of scholars who have developed the concepts of the deep state and institutional capture to understand how one rich industry can override the public interest.Taft views global warming and weakened democracy as two symptoms of the same problem - the loss of democratic institutions to corporate influence and control. He sees citizen engagement and direct action by the public as the only response that can unravel big oil's deep state.
