Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the Monongahela Navigation Company, a corporation chartered in the 19th century to improve navigation on the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania. The author presents a comprehensive examination of the company's history, its impact on the development of the region, and the controversy surrounding its potential acquisition by the United States government. Through meticulous research and analysis, this book explores the complex interplay between corporate interests, government policy, and the economic growth of the United States during a period of rapid industrialization. The author argues that the company's success in transforming the river into a major transportation artery was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its founders. However, the debate over its future raises important questions about the role of government intervention in economic development and the tension between public and private interests. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the formative years of American capitalism and the ongoing debates over the proper relationship between business and government.
