Crowley is a best-selling author of four books: The Self, the Individual and the Community, Oxford University Press, 1987; The Road to Equity: Impolitic Essays, Stoddart, 1994; Fearful Symmetry: The Fall and Rise of Canada’s Founding Values, Key Porter Books, 2009; and his latest The Canadian Century: Moving Out of America’s Shadow, with Jason Clemens and Neils Veldhuis, Key Porter Books, 2010.

The Canadian Century discusses the fiscal reforms Canada

adopted in the 1900s, causing the government to shrink by more

than 10 percentage points of GDP. This left the other countries,

including the US. The Canadian Century has achieved a high

profile in both Canada and the US, and was most recently

celebrated in the Wall Street Journal.
