Book Description

Publication Date: May 10 2010 | ISBN-10: 0981240569 | ISBN-13: 978-0981240565

For the first time, Jacques Parizeau shares his views on Quebec's recent history and its future. As chief economics advisor to Quebec premiers in the 1960s, Jacques Parizeau was instrumental in bringing about Quebe's Quiet Revolution. As René Lévesque's Finance Minister from 1976 through 1984, he showed that sovereigntists could govern Quebec and ensure economic viability. As Premier, he brought Quebec close to sovereignty in the 1995 referendum. In 2010, he still represents an idea shared by millions in Quebec. Drawing on his rich experience in public service and teaching, Jacques Parizeau explains how the idea of an independent Quebec took root and evolved. He examines Quebec's current economic, political, social and cultural situation, and reviews options for future development. No stones are left unturned. Why become independent? What is the role of the State and how should it be administered in a globalized economy. What are the challenges in the 21st century? What about the financial crisis? And the environment? And above all what challenges face Quebec sovereigntists and their English Canadian counterparts?

Product Description

Review

“On all issues, Jacques Parizeau has interesting things to say. (…) Overall, it is the book of a leading civil servant, a major actor in the Quiet Revolution, and an extraordinary politician. His ideas, whether we share them or not, deserve our respect. There are too many mediocre politicians for us not to welcome the idea that a politician is also a thinker.” — Alain Dubuc, La Presse

“What Parizeau brilliantly illustrates is that today 'no country is too small to develop as long as it is part of large trade space or market.’ ” — Louis Cornellier, Le Devoir.

"Parizeau, the former premier of Quebec and leader of the Yes camp in the 1995 independence referendum, delivers a thorough overview of the history and future of the separatist movement in the province. Translated into English for the first time, this work discusses such topics as the political intricacies of separation, the potential economic viability of an independent Quebec, and the independence movement in an international context. A comprehensive statement of the sovereignest side of the independence debate, this volume will be of particular interest to non-French speakers with an interest or stake in the outcome of the independence movement."
