This book makes the case for the establishment of a new political party dedicated to supporting a system of ship canals, river improvements, and a national banking system based on the issuance of legal tenders redeemable with interest earned from the canals. The author proposes a radical plan to fund these projects by redirecting interest payments made on government bonds into a fund for canal construction and river improvements. The book argues that by employing convict labor and implementing other cost-saving measures, these projects can be completed quickly and e ciently at no cost to the American public. The author positions the proposed ship canal system within the context of America's broader transportation network and argues that the canals would provide cheaper transportation options for farmers, manufacturers, and consumers alike. This thought-provoking book outlines the challenges and opportunities presented by large-scale infrastructure projects and offers a bold vision for how they can be used to improve the lives of all Americans.
