Condición: New. In the late 1920s, Canada's economy showed all the signs of a full-fledged depression. Life savings were evaporating, unemployment was up, and exports were dramatically down. Riding on the popularity of his promise to blast Canada's way into world markets and thus stop the economy's downward spiral. Richard Bedfo…rd Bennett defeated William Lyon Mackenzie King at the polls on July 28, 1930, and assumed the country's leadership. Over the next five years, however, Bennett's name became synonymous with the worst of the depression from Bennett buggies, to Bennett tea, to Bennett-burghs. Eighty years later, he is widely viewed as a difficult man, an ineffectual leader, and a politician who flip-flopped on his conservative beliefs in exchange for popularity. In Rebel Who Challenged a Nation. John Boyko offers not only the first major biography of the man but a fresh perspective on the old scholarship. Boyko looks at the prime minister's sometimes controversial and often misunderstood policies through a longer lens, one that shows not a politician angling for votes, but rather a man following through on a lifelong dedication to a greater role for government in society and the economy. It is easy to understand why Bennett has been so misunderstood. It is not often, after all, that a conservative prime minister finds himself to the left of his liberal opposition, but that is exactly where Bennett landed. Bennett's New Deal was a series of proposals that included unemployment insurance; the establishment of a minimum wage and limits on work hours; an extension of federally backed farm credit; fair-trade and anti-monopoly legislation; and a revamped Wheat Board to oversee and control grain prices was certainly a departure from the conservative politics of the day. The same could be said for his creation of the Bank of Canada and the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. Citing primary and secondary source research, Boyko effectively argues that Bennett's achievements were not a departure at all, but rather consistent with the beliefs he held for most of his life. Boyko explores the origins and hardening of those beliefs as he details Bennett's birth (into relative poverty) in Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, his stunning success as a corporate lawyer and financial entrepreneur in Calgary, his years in politics, and his eventual retirement in England. As he ranges through the ups and downs of his subject's career, Boyko also invites his reader to compare the challenges faced by Bennett to those faced in Canada's more recent the threat of coalitions, parliaments being prorogued, and governors-general being asked to decide the fate of the nation. Nearly every other Canadian prime minister finds his or her way into the analysis, with Bennett's beliefs and actions measured against theirs. The result is a political biography that is as current as today's headline. Meticulously researched and well-told, Rebel Who Challenged a Nation stands among other first-class biographies of this country's political greats. As Canada faces its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, Bennett's is a life and a career that deserves contemplation.
