Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the rampant profiteering in railroad construction and management. The author, an experienced civil engineer, presents a well-argued case for reforming the railway system in the public interest. The book's historical context is the explosive growth of railway construction in mid-19th century England, which attracted many dishonest and incompetent promoters who took advantage of a regulatory loophole that guaranteed 10 percent profit margins to investors. Through detailed examples, the author shows how this led to rampant waste and overcharging. He also calls for qualified, independent experts to oversee railway construction and management. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of railways and also those concerned about the historical and continuing problems of corporate fraud and government corruption. 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 9781331977063_0
