Railways and the State provides an international study of the development of passenger and freight railway transportation and how societal, cultural, and economic factors shaped their implementation in the United States, Britain, Canada, and the colonies of Australia, New Zealand, and India. A comprehensive analysis of the role of government in relation to the development of railway systems, this book explores the essential role that state action played in their growth. The author advocates for viewing state ownership of railways not merely as a stopgap, but as an enduring solution which can continue to provide for the public good.
