Just a few years ago the industry was awash in red ink, air carriers were going bankrupt at a dizzying pace, and unions faced concession bargaining. Today most of the carriers are making record profits, and unions are beginning to recoup. The risk of book publishing in an era of rapid change is that by the time the book appears its topics may seem dated. This book contains eighteen papers presented at a conference on airline labor relations convened by the National Mediation Board in 1993, yet the industry had not yet begun to recover from the recession and the Gulf War, and this background permeates most of the book.

Why this is so is investigated by applying the traditional literature on “American exceptionalism” and the comparative method. A defence of an active role for government in the economy is developed, based on social and institutional economics. The traditional explanations for American exceptionalism given by Sombart, Commons and Perlman are outlined. A comparison of the Canadian and US politico‐economic cultures is employed as a means for evaluating the validity of the arguments in the traditional exceptionalist literature. Although those investigating American exceptionalism have often compared the US with Europe, it is argued that Canada makes a better subject for comparison with the US. This is because the two countries are very similar, yet exhibit different attitudes toward the public sector.
