About League for Social Reconstruction
The League for Social Reconstruction (LSR) was a circle of Canadian socialists formed in 1932, in response to events such as World War I and the Great Depression, as well as increased industrialization and urbanization. The group advocated for social and economic reformation as well as political education, and esteemed 'rational moralism' as an ideology that could be utilized and applied to prevent suffering in Canada. The league aimed to act as an independent force influencing public policy reform in Canada during a tumultuous period. Working with both intellectuals and politicians, the league assisted in the creation of centralized social welfare and national assistance schemes. The LSR disbanded in 1942, during the Second World War.
