Focusing on the Depression, Second World War, and early post-War period, Robert Ascah examines the interaction of politics and capital markets in Canada from the perspective of the debt management function. Ascah's insightful study explores the Dominion Government's dealings with domestic and international finance capital and their reaction to the policies of Alberta's Social Credit government, and in particular the April 1936 default.

Robert L. Ascah is now Senior Vice-President, Policy and Strategic Planning, with Alberta Treasury Branches. His interest in public finance began when he was a junior auditor with the Auditor General of Canada, and continued through his doctoral work.
