The author examines historic trends in European railway and coal industry relationships and compares them to the situation in the U.S. The book argues the Commodities Clause failed due to weaknesses in its language, lack of clarity in Congressional intent, and the clause being too easily circumvented by corporations. Ultimately, the author concludes that the Commodities Clause failed to prevent coal acquisition by railways due to existing loopholes that allowed for the continuation of existing practices.
