Description
Fiscal Federalism and Equalization Policy in Canada aims to increase public understanding of equalization and fiscal federalism by providing a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective on the history, politics, and economics of equalization policy in Canada. The authors provide a brief history, an analysis of the politics of equalization as witnessed over the last fifteen years, and a discussion of key economic debates concerning the role of the program and its effects. They also explore the relationship between equalization and other components of fiscal federalism, particularly the Canada Health Transfer and the Canada Social Transfer. The result is an analysis that draws from the best scholarship available in the fields of economics, economic history, political science, political sociology, and public policy.

Editorial Reviews
“I highly recommend the book to anyone (academics, students and citizens) learning about equalization for the first time. I also recommend it to experts looking to refine or consolidate their learning, because nowhere else will they find so much about the program in just 114 pages. Finally, I recommend it to anyone interested in contemporary equalization policy debates.”
