What is Bennett about?

In the late 1920s, Canada was heading towards depression. By promising to fix the economy, Richard Bedford Bennett was elected Prime Minister. Over the next five years, however, his name became synonymous with the worst of the Depression. Eighty years later, he is widely viewed as an ineffectual leader and a politician who "flip-flopped" on his conservative beliefs in exchange for popularity. John Boyko offers the first major biography of the man and a fresh perspective on the Bennett, whose proposals included unemployment insurance; a minimum wage and work hour limits; and fair-trade. John Boyko has degrees from McMaster, Queen’s, and Trent and has written extensively on history and given lectures across the country. Political Biography, Richard Bennett, Canadian author.
