This book provides the first detailed account of the struggle to build and regulate the public and private utilities which have become Canada's largest economic organizations. Authors Christopher Armstrong and H.V. Nelles examine Canada's response to the problem of monopoly inherent in the water, gas, street, railroad, hydroelectric, and telephone technologies.
