His work offers a right-wing analysis of Canadian economic history.He established himself as a critic of H.A. Innis’ staple thesis, which explains Canadian economic development as a lateral, east-west conception of trade. Neill advocates a post-Innisian thesis, explaining the development as an expression of variegated regions (population density, cultural politics, geographic characteristics) and of their particular north-south relations with the
United States .External links
