The Industrial Revolution. Arnold Toynbee
Abstract
in support of the thesis that nationalization of railways, under any of its forms, "is unnecessary, undesirable and impracticable as regards any application thereof to the United Kingdom," whatever defense of the principle may be urged in other countries with other economic and political conditions.This said, enough said.The topics treated are inevitable: state railway finance; state vs. private management; effects upon politics and upon labor; probable terms of acquisition; comparison of English and continental rates, services, and conditions of traffic; what English railways have done; their present situation; how other countries have been led to adopt state ownership-all treated from the point of view that out of the nationalization Nazareth nothing good can come; at least, not for England
