Publisher's Synopsis
Government Ownership of Railways Considered as the Next Great Step in American Progress is a book written by Anthony Van Wagenen in 1910. The book discusses the idea of the government taking control of the railway system in the United States. Wagenen argues that this would be the next great step in American progress, as it would lead to greater efficiency, lower costs, and improved safety for passengers and goods. The book provides a historical overview of the railway industry in America and explores the pros and cons of government ownership. Wagenen also examines the experiences of other countries that have nationalized their railways. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of a controversial topic that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
