'The rapid concentration of wealth in Canada is no mere fancy. Already, it is estimated, less than fifty men control more than one-third of Canada’s material wealth as expressed in railways, banks, factories, mines, land and other properties and resources.'-Gustavus Myers , A History of Canadian Wealth (1914)A History of Canadian Wealth (1914), by Gustavus Myers, reports on his research into the means by which a few men gained control over the Canadian economy at the start of the twentieth century. Filled with stories of corruption, swindling, land deals, and bribery, it reveals a side of Canadian history that had not been exposed in previous documents and permanently altered the reputations of many of the country’s so-called leaders. The first of a two-volume work the author had planned, its sequel was never published.
