Preface to the 1963 Edition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The essays and addresses in this book have, with three exceptions (chapters 12, 14 and 20), all been prepared for presentation to Canadian audiences, and all deal directly or indirectly with problems of Canadian economic policy.I have collected them for publication at the suggestion of colleagues and friends in Canada.In this connection I owe a special debt to Professor William Kilbourn, of York University, and to Professor J.H. Dales, of the University of Toronto.Professor Kilbourn not only was the first to suggest the preparation of this volume, but has enlightened and enlivened my thinking in many discussions of Canadian politics and problems.Professor Dales devoted many hours of his year's visit to the University of Chicago to discussions of the economic effects of the Canadian tariff, and his probing questions stimulated me to devote several more weeks than either of us had expected would be necessary to the economic analysis of the Bladen Plan (chapter n).In addition, Professor Dales' experienced editorial advice has guided the arrangement of the chapters of the book; in particular, he suggested the inclusion of the paper on the overvaluation of the dollar ( chapter 20), on the argument that since I have devoted so much effort to castigating Canadian economic policy before Canadian audiences, it would be only fair to include a sample of my criticisms of United States economic policy to American audiences.I make no apologies for including that chapter, since it is a Canadian axiom that the United States is Canada's biggest problem.Nor need I apologize for the inclusion of my paper for the O.E.C.D. Conference on the Residual Factor in Economic Growth (chapter 14); for I attended that Conference by virtue of my Canadian citizenship, and the ideas expressed in it are

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
