AN INTERLUDE OF FREEDOM

An Interlude of Freedom
by Daniella Bassi
Most fur trade histories blame capitalism for the dispossession and subjugation of indigenous peoples, arguing that dependence on guns and other European goods made them helpless to resist colonialism. Histories of the Canadian North are no different, blaming the fur trade for the injustices suffered by the Inuit and other northern peoples. In An Interlude of Freedom, Mises Institute editor and historian Daniella Bassi uses natural rights theory and Austrian economics—rather than the usual Marxism and historicism—to reinterpret this unique historical moment by reframing it around state power. She shows that the Canadian government disrupted a mutually beneficial trade as it encroached on the free Arctic in the twentieth century and that it created disorder by replacing Inuit natural law with Canadian rule.
