Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an exhaustive examination of railway rates in the United States, explores how and why they have not kept pace with inflation since 1897. The author, a leading economist, examines the distinction between nominal and real wages, prices, and railway rates, arguing that the failure to adjust railway rates to the diminished value of the standard dollar has effectively reduced them in real terms. Through detailed analysis of statistics, the book demonstrates the extent to which American railroads have suffered from this depreciation, and the resulting impact on wages, prices, and the broader economy. The author concludes by highlighting the crucial need for railway rates to be brought in line with inflation, to ensure a fair return for railway companies and maintain a healthy transportation sector.
