Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous early days of the railway age in England, examining the complex relationship between government, private enterprise, and the public in the development of this revolutionary technology. The author, a keen observer of the times, analyzes the consequences of Parliament's initial failure to adequately regulate the burgeoning railway industry. He argues that the lack of oversight led to a frenzy of speculation, with companies exploiting loopholes to maximize profits at the expense of the public. The book's central theme explores the tension between the potential benefits of unfettered capitalism and the need for societal protection from unchecked corporate power. This conflict is further amplified by the author's comparison of English railway practices with those of France, highlighting the different approaches to regulation and their respective impacts. Through a detailed examination of legislation, public policy, and the economic consequences of railway development, the author reveals the unintended social and economic consequences of poorly-conceived regulation. The book offers a compelling and insightful look at the birth pangs of a modern technological revolution and serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of carefully crafted legislation in guiding the development of transformative industries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330144541_0
