Why do railways matter to the price of goods and the reach of markets? This study argues that government-made railway rates distort trade and local development.
This is a comprehensive, historically grounded analysis of how different nations regulate rail transport, and what those choices mean for business, consumers, and national economies. It uses a broad, comparative lens to examine the experience of the United States and several European nations, plus Australia and Russia, to draw lessons about rate-setting, competition, and performance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1901, examines the effect of government regulation on railway rates in six prominent nations, with emphasis on the experience in both Prussia and the United States. The author asserts that public policy must determine the balance between government intervention and private initiative. When government presumes to regulate, it must exercise this power responsibly to avoid arresting technological progress, stifling economic growth, and allowing politics to distort the market. This book provides a comprehensive look at the many complex forces that inevitably come into play when a government undertakes regulation of railway rates.
