The Government And The Railroad Corporations (1871)

The Government and the Railroad Corporations is a book written by Charles Francis Adams in 1871. The book explores the relationship between the government and the railroad corporations during a time when the railroad industry was rapidly expanding in the United States. Adams, a prominent lawyer and politician, discusses the various ways in which the government has interacted with the railroad corporations, including the granting of land and financial aid. He also delves into the controversial issue of government regulation of the railroad industry, arguing that while some regulation is necessary, too much can be detrimental to both the industry and the economy as a whole. The book provides a detailed historical account of the development of the railroad industry in the United States and its impact on American society and politics. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of transportation, government-business relations, and the development of the American economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
