Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Should the post office carry the nation's parcels as well as its letters Behind that practical question lies a far-reaching contest over public convenience, commercial power and the proper boundary between government service and private enterprise. This anthology captures the parcels-post debate as postal officials, legislators, merchants, farmers, manufacturers, retailers and express companies confront the possible expansion of merchandise delivery across the United States. Rather than presenting a single verdict, the collection is organised into general, affirmative and negative discussions, allowing rival claims to meet directly. Proposed rates and weight limits become points of contention, while rural delivery raises urgent questions about access, transport costs and economic opportunity. Would a federal service strengthen rural life and widen distribution, or place local businesses under pressure from mail-order competition Articles, references and debate materials preserve the reasoning on each side, revealing how postal finance could become inseparable from the everyday movement of goods. Comparisons with foreign postal systems broaden the argument beyond domestic policy, testing competing assumptions against established approaches elsewhere. The resulting discussion connects the mechanics of parcel delivery with larger tensions between national distribution and local trade, public provision and private competition. Its carefully balanced structure makes the volume more than a record of proposals: it is a concentrated encounter with the interests, calculations and disagreements surrounding a major question of postal policy. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.…
