Synopsis
The book presents a sharp, historically grounded critique of railway regulation. It argues that government controls over railroad operations reduce a manager’s accountability and harm the owners’ ability to earn a fair return.
Framed as a policy-oriented examination, the work contrasts private operation with government intervention and weighs the broader consequences for the economy and the public. It calls for rational regulation that protects safety and fairness without destroying investor confidence or the incentive to keep rail networks efficient.
- Shows how regulatory power shifts responsibility from owners to the state, affecting earnings and operations.
- Evaluates proposals like physical valuation and explains why they could undermine credit and investment.
- Discusses the political climate of the era and the tension between reform and market vitality.
- Offers a practical vision for regulation that preserves both integrity and economic health.
Ideal for readers of policy history, economic policy, and business history who want a perspective on how regulation shapes industry, investment, and national development.
