Economic Policy Making in Canada; Essays in Honour of John Deutsch might be of some use. If you are interested in 20th century issues such as the Canada-US FTA or NAFTA there are lots of references that I could add

Dear Chen,

 

My coauthor Beth Berman and I published a review piece on the role of economists in policymaking that might be of interest here <https://academic.oup.com/ser/article/12/4/779/1653602> . Most of the work we focus on is about the 20th century, however. For earlier periods, you might be interested in Elisabeth Anderson's work on the role of ideas and experts in 19th century welfare state and child labor reforms (here <https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0003122417753112>  and here <https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11186-012-9186-4.pdf> ). 

 

Best!

Dan

Dear colleagues,

 

I am interested in the impact of economics in general, or of specific economists, on national policymaking.

I will appreciate any reading suggestions but especially any evidence for the influence of 18th-19th centuries economists on the political realm.

 

Many thanks to you all,

 

Chen Earon
