Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book unpacks the complex problem of 19th and early 20th century transportation infrastructure, particularly the issues caused by the inefficiency of railroad corporations in meeting the demands of a growing nation. The author, a politician, financier, and government official, provides insightful ideas for how to address this economic crisis. Beyond discussing the transportation problem of the early 20th century, the author envisions how a government-built and publicly regulated transcontinental railroad could address accessibility and affordability challenges, while allowing for a more uniform and fair system.
