Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the railway systems in England and Belgium, analyzing their contrasting principles and effects. The author argues that the English system, which grants private companies monopolies over railway operations, has led to excessive fares, poor service, and the stifling of competition. In contrast, the Belgian system, where railways are owned and operated by the government, has resulted in lower fares, better service, and greater accessibility for the general public. The author advocates for a similar approach in England, arguing that it would lead to significant benefits for both the economy and the public. This thought-provoking book provides a valuable perspective on the role of government in regulating essential infrastructure and the importance of affordable and accessible transportation for all.
