Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, initially published in 1910, presents an extensive analysis of rail freight rates in Canada. The author, a leading figure in the public movement to organize against unfair railway practices, argues that Western Canadian farmers were unfairly burdened by the cost of shipping their goods. He presents a wealth of evidence to demonstrate that rail companies operating in the Western provinces charged substantially higher rates than they did for the same services in Eastern Canada or the United States. At the heart of this disparity was the principle, practiced by rail companies, of charging "all the traffic will bear". Some of the book's comparisons show that farmers paid in some cases up to 100 percent more than they should have. Canadian farmers were thus, in effect, subsidizing not only manufacturers and wholesalers but also the construction of branch lines that served their American competitors. This book stands as a vital contribution to Canadian economic history, shedding rare light on the struggle by prairie farmers for fair treatment in the face of corporate power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243158539_0
