Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Government Ownership of Railways: Considered as the Next Great Step in American Progress One object of this book is to call public attention to the world-wide triumph of government ownership of railways. So complete is this triumph that the world may now be said to be upon a government ownership basis. In four-fifths of the nations of the world, government ownership is the rule and private ownership the exception; while out of the fifty considerable nations of the earth, there are only four in which government ownership does not prevail to a greater or less extent. This book is a plain history of the growth of the system of public ownership from the time when the Government of Belgium pioneered in railroading with private capital to this day of the general adoption of nationalization. The argument herein is meant for the general reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
