Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between railroad freight rates and manufacturing development in the western United States, with a particular focus on Denver, Colorado, in the late 19th century. As the author explores the historical context of westward expansion, the book analyzes how railroads prioritized long-haul freight, hindering the emergence of local industries. The author presents compelling evidence of discriminatory freight rates, showing how railroad companies favored the transportation of finished goods from the East over the production of goods in the West. This practice stifled the growth of manufacturing in Denver and other western cities, leading to missed opportunities for economic diversification and population growth. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the historical power dynamics between transportation monopolies and regional development, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history of American economic development.
