Towards a better understanding of the Consumer Price Index / M.C. McCracken, E. Ruddick.: EC22-88/1980E-PDF
"Every month, the incomes of most Canadians depend to some degree on the work of 115 people. They are the faces behind the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which, for better or worse, has become a high-profile exercise in taking the pulse of the Canadian economy each month. It is a ritual which is poorly understood by many, even though the CPI is a widely quoted yardstick for telling Canadians about the speed and direction of price changes in consumer products and services"--Introd.
