{ "item_title" : "From Left to Right", "item_author" : [" Dale Eisler "], "item_description" : "An in-depth look at the political landscape of Saskatchewan from its leftist roots to its shift in recent years to the right of centre.One of the most underreported stories in Canadian politics has been the political and economic transformation of Saskatchewan. The province that was the birthplace of the CCF-NDP and democratic socialism in North America has, over the last fifty years, undergone fundamental change that has altered its identity. It is now seen as the bastion of the centre-right Saskatchewan Party, which has become one of the most dominant provincial political parties in Canada. The story of that transformation, in which the once powerful NDP has been relegated to the political margins, reaches far beyond the province itself and reflects national and global events that have shaped the province over the course of the last half century. Modern Saskatchewan politics have been less about ideology and more about the influence of issues and events since the late 1960s and the lure of populist leaders who speak to an identity rooted in the province's history. Consistent with Saskatchewan's history, From Left to Right presents a blend of populism, a deeply embedded spirit of independence and personal initiative, coupled with communitarian values and the constant search for a better future.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/88/977/867/0889778671_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "89.00", "online_price" : "89.00", "our_price" : "89.00", "club_price" : "89.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
