Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contends that the neglect of radical legislation has resulted in a systematic oppression of trade, agriculture, and, by extension, the British people, by allowing private railway companies to effectively become unelected and unaccountable governing bodies who impose crippling taxes on the movement of goods and people. The author demonstrates how these companies can charge some customers hundreds of percent more than others for the same service, legally, by taking advantage of poorly-conceived legislation that was originally intended to protect the public. The book is not only a trenchant critique of the unchecked power wielded by railway companies over British trade but also a broader indictment of the failure of the British government to protect its people from the predations of private corporations and special interests.
