The author starts from the humble beginnings of railways and traces their development, as new technology and business innovations emerge. This book argues that the development of railways contributed directly to larger scale commerce and improved trade, which in turn led to an increase in wealth and prosperity and improved the living conditions for working-class people. The author's analysis shows how this new mode of transportation has created both social and economic change. While Britain was first to invest in developing its national rail system, this book highlights that other countries were not far behind with their own innovations. This book traces the building of railways in France and details how they have impacted that country's growth and prosperity. Through this international analysis, the book makes a profound observation that the expansion and development of the railway system has a direct and substantial impact on a nation's economy, trade, and the well-being of its citizens.
