Woodsworth (Heritage)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Shaver Woodsworth (1874-1942) stands as one of the half-dozen most important national political figures in twentieth-century Canadian history. Allen Mills acknowledges his outstanding achievements while providing a critical account of the Woodsworth legacy and revising the received opinion of him as a man of unbending conviction and ever-coherent principle.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n A product of western Canada's pioneer society and a stern Methodist household, Woodsworth grew up to make his way into social service and politcal action. A member of parliament for over twenty years, he rejected the traditional forms of political activity, seeking a new politics and a new political party. The latter turned out to be the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation founded in 1932. Its first leader was Woodsworth himself.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n In a crucial period between the World Wars, Woodsworth helped define the character of the modern Canadian, non-Marxist Left and of many of Canada's important economic and social institutions. Among them are the welfare state, the Bank of Canada, and Canada's internationalist role in the contemporary world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67907147399204,"sku":"YSL417","price":22.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/81Ub17ByzvL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793076894","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b00t9zjnci","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
