Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the economy, politics, and administration of railroad networks in France. It was written in the 19th century when France was at the forefront of rail development. Beginning with an overview of the economic, political, and administrative issues to be resolved before constructing a railway, the author then describes key considerations for rail competition, comparing and contrasting railroads with waterways. Drawing a distinction between government and private construction and operation of rail networks, the author delves into the details of concessions, public subsidies, and financial participation by local entities. The topics of accounting, taxation, and litigation related to railways are also examined in detail. This volume provides valuable insights into the development of rail networks in France and the broader context of rail development in the 19th century.
