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 explores the idea of government ownership of railways as a means of advancing American progress. The author argues that private ownership of railways has led to inefficiencies, corruption, and unfair practices, and that government ownership would bring about greater efficiency, fairness, and accountability. The book examines the history of railways in America, the economic benefits of government ownership, and the potential challenges and criticisms of such a system. Overall, the book provides a compelling argument for government ownership of railways as a necessary step towards achieving greater progress and prosperity for the American people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
