Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the development of freight rates in Official Territory, a region encompassing the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, between 1887 and 1917. The author examines the complex system of rate-making that emerged during this period, which was characterized by a shift from distance-based rates to percentage-based rates. The book argues that this shift was driven by a number of factors, including the rise of large railroad corporations, the development of new transportation technologies, and the growing importance of industrial production. The author also explores the impact of government regulation on freight rates, and the role of the Interstate Commerce Commission in shaping the development of the railroad industry. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the factors that shaped the development of freight rates in Official Territory, and provides a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners interested in the history of transportation and logistics.
