Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a decisive and critical analysis of a widely debated political project: the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project. Uniting multiple perspectives, it features reports from diverse commissions, government departments, and both the US and Canadian governments. The author also corroborates information using original analyses of project costs, economic and political effects. The book highlights the enormous costs of the project, the majority of which would be borne by American taxpayers who would not benefit from it. The author also explores how American labor, transportation, and industry would lose millions of dollars annually due to the diversion of business to foreign carriers and the loss of Canadian export grain movement. It concludes that while certain special interests might benefit from the project, its nation-wide effects would far exceed any potential benefits. The insights in this book expose the economic fallacy of the project and serve as a crucial resource for understanding its broader implications.
