Description
In A Civilized Revolution, Gordon Wilson outlines, clearly and trenchantly, the changes necessary if British Columbia is to prosper in the 21st century. Central to Wilson's vision is a new approach to the management of our natural resources that keeps wealth within our province by directing the bounty of our forests, farms, mines and ocean to local mills, processors, and value-added industries. Wilson argues that Canada's crucial social programmes can be retained with a modified delivery system.
