Michael Alexander Biography

While Canada seems to be on an economic upswing after a decade of low interest rates, steady growth and budget surpluses, Michael Alexander argues that we yet to achieve our true economic potential. In his book, Competing Against America: Why Canada Has Fallen Behind in the Race for Talent and Wealth (And What To Do About It), Alexander uses cutting-edge economic data to prove that Canada's standard of living has been in free fall for over 25 years.

Alexander lays the blame for our decline on false ideas introduced into our political culture by opinion leaders in media, government and academia. Many of these ideas were supposed to create a just society that would establish equal opportunity as a guiding principle and promote national prosperity. Instead, they have undermined the equal opportunity ideal and reduced our productive potential. To offer solutions, Alexander turns to the United States and pinpoints best practices that have made America a world leader in productivity and innovation. He also examines best practices in Alberta and the European Union to illuminate the path Canada must take to improve its economic performance.

Also author of the best-selling book, How to Inherit Money: A Guide to Making Good Financial Decisions After Losing Someone You Love, Alexander holds law degrees from the University of Toronto (J.D.) and Columbia University (L.L.M., Honours List), and he studied at the University of Chicago while holding the Laidlaw Fellowship in Law and Political Science. He appears as a commentator on radio and television in Canada and the U.S. and is a regular member of the global affairs panel on the Michael Coren Show.
