Abstract
Since joining Canada in 1949 the province of Newfoundland and Labrador has been one of the most persistent pockets of poverty in the country. This paper traces the roots of Newfoundland's economic underdevelopment to the way in which the area was initially integrated by merchant capital into the British Colonial system to produce salt cod.Keywords
