Reviews

This is not a simple case study that narrowly analyzes how yet another Canadian firm was swallowed by a U.S. colossus. Imperial Standard reveals a legacy of complicated dynamics-between subsidiary and parent, between corporation and state-and helps us understand the inception of fossil-fuelled industrial capitalism in this country. - Dimitry Anastakis, Literary Review of Canada
