[edit] inhibiting economic growth

The last sentence of this article, added sometime in 2007, reads, "The staples thesis demonstrates that reliance on the exportation of raw materials inhibits economic growth.". This wasn't part of the original, Canadian version of the thesis, which was simply about how economic organization impacts cultural and political organization. Is it part of some other version of the thesis? If so, is there a citation to who holds this version? --Delirium (talk) 00:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canada-centric

Isn't it redundant to note this article as Canada-centric since the article relates directly to a Canadian? NorthernThunder (talk) 02:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
