Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the negative impacts of restrictive legislation on railway companies in Wisconsin, USA in the 19th century. The author's premise is that a fair day's labor deserves equitable recompense. This concept, when applied to the transportation industry, first requires a determination of what constitutes a reasonable rate for the services provided. This book carefully examines the economic and infrastructural factors that influence the cost of railroad operations in Wisconsin. By comparing rates to those charged in other contemporary states and countries, the study demonstrates that the prescribed rates were unreasonably low, and resulted in dire consequences for the state's economy. Ultimately, this book argues that the rates imposed by the Potter Law and similar acts were counterproductive, leading to deterioration of essential infrastructure and a decline in overall economic progress for the state.
