The Changing Structure of Canadian Agriculture, 1867–1897
重新审视加拿大从联邦成立到“小麦繁荣”前的农业结构变化,发现转向混合农业的时间比通常认为的更早,且国内需求的作用被低估。
This paper re-examines the changing structure of Canadian agriculture over the period between Confederation and the beginning of the “wheat boom.” A pattern of changes is found that differs in some respects from the long-received accounts. The shift from wheat to mixed farming was accomplished by an earlier date than is usually supposed, and domestic demand is due more emphasis, relative to export demand, than it is usually given.
