The Social Credit Movement in Alberta

John A. Irving (1903-1965) was a professor of ethics and social philosophy at Victoria College, University of Toronto.

"Carefully documented and interestingly written, this book is of value not only to the student of Social Credit but to the researcher on the political process and techniques of mass persuasion."

"With commendable clarity, insight and attention to detail Professor Irving has described and analysed the rise of Social Credit in Alberta from the time that William Aberhart became converted to the cause of monetary reform in the summer in 1932, and began to introduce Social Credit doctrines into his Sunday afternoon religious broadcasts the next fall, until the accession of the movement to power on August 22, 1935 . . . a valuable contribution to the literature of Canadian social science."
