This book analyzes whether a railway through the Swiss Alps would benefit Italy and Switzerland. The author examines the economic and engineering challenges of building such a railway in this time period and compares the viability of routes through the Lukmanier and St. Gotthard passes. The author contends that instead of creating economic growth, the railway would only benefit a few corporations while also irreparably damaging the environment. Instead, the author argues for continuing to develop local economies by investing in local infrastructure projects such as roads and canals.
