""Economic Aspects of the Proposed St. Lawrence Shipway"" offers a comprehensive analysis of one of the most significant engineering and economic proposals in North American history. Written by noted economist D.A. MacGibbon, this work evaluates the potential impact of a deep-water navigation route connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Through detailed examination, the author explores the financial feasibility, projected trade volumes, and the anticipated shift in transportation dynamics for both Canada and the United States.
The text delves into the intricate relationship between maritime infrastructure and inland economic development, considering how such a shipway would facilitate the export of grain and other commodities. MacGibbon provides a rigorous assessment of the costs versus the benefits, addressing the concerns of various stakeholders and the broader geopolitical implications of the project. This study remains a vital historical document for understanding the evolution of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the economic debates that shaped modern continental transport.
Ideal for scholars of economic history, transportation enthusiasts, and those interested in Canadian-American relations, this book provides essential context for the eventual realization of this massive infrastructure project.
