In this absorbing narrative, Barry E.C. Boothman traces the history of Abitibi Power & Paper Limited alongside the rise and fall of the newsprint industry and the advent of Canadian corporate capitalism. In the first half of the twentieth century, Abitibi was Canadas biggest manufacturer an apparent success story after the Wall Street crash of 1929 and a company deemed 'too big to fail' but the company eventually ended up at the centre of the longest and most controversial bankruptcy in Canadian history.Moving from the frontier areas of northern Ontario to the heart of the continental economy, Corporate Cataclysm shows how competitive strategies, industrial organization, corporate finance, and law combined with the empirebuilding dreams of entrepreneurs and the concerns of politicians to generate an economic disaster. It then chronicles the disputes and intense strife that plagued Abitibis fourteenyear receivership.
