摘要：The recent history of the NDP has been replete with calls for the development of a coherent economic policy, reflecting a felt need to come to terms with the profound changes in the Canadian economy and politics of the past decade. Well into the 1970s the NDP's basic goal was to implement a full-employment, Keynesian welfare state. This vision drew upon postwar European social democratic experiences, basically rejecting the democratic socialist, planned economy vision of the prewar CCF. Then, responding to the challenge posed by the Waffle and realizing that traditional prescriptions could not deal with changed institutional realities, the NDP embraced economic nationalism and interventionist industrial planning in the 1970s.
