Synopsis
Regulation of Railway Rates lays out the heated debates over who should set and enforce railroad prices in a growing nation.
The book presents testimony from senators, commissioners, and industry voices about how rates affect business, workers, and everyday life.
Through parliamentary hearings and discussions from the early 1900s, readers see arguments about federal versus state control, the balance of power between railroads and the public, and the practical challenges of ensuring fair competition. The material offers a window into how policy ideas evolved in response to real-world commerce and regulation.
- Key questions about rate reasonableness, discrimination, and the scope of regulatory power
- Perspectives on the roles of commissions, courts, and executive agencies
- Principles and tensions behind rate making, including historical standards and practical testing
Ideal for readers of policy history, regulatory law, and economic regulation who want to understand the roots of railroad pricing debates.
