The author examines the effect of the Industrial Revolution, particularly the development of the transportation industry, on America's economy and society. The text explores vital issues such as rate fixing, discrimination, pooling, and rebating. It also considers the impact of new legislation, the Hepburn Act, designed to regulate railroad commerce. The author argues that the Hepburn Act had a transformative impact on both railroad practices and the broader American economy. He concludes that its passage marked the beginning of a new era of regulation and oversight that would forever alter the landscape of interstate commerce.
