About the Author: Brian Lee Crowley
Brian Lee Crowley is the co-author (with Jason Clemens and Niels Veldhuis) of the national bestseller The Canadian Century - Moving Out of America's Shadow. Crowley is managing director of the Macdonald--Laurier Institute for Public Policy and is a frequent commentator on political and economic issues for the CBC, Radio--Canada, and many other media. He lives in Ottawa.
In the 1960s, Canada began a seismic shift away from the core policies and values upon which the country had been built. A nation of "makers" transformed itself into a nation of "takers". Crowley argues that the time has come for the pendulum to swing back - back to a time when Canadians were less willing to rely on the state for support; when people went where the work was rather than waiting for the work to come to them.

Thought-provoking, meticulously detailed and ultimately polarizing, Fearful Symmetry is required reading for anyone who is interested in where this country began, where it's been, and where it's going.
