The Best Transportation System in the World focuses on the centrality of government in organizing the nation's transportation industries.

From 1920 to the mid-1990s, American transportation in the form of railroads, trucks, and airlines was simply a creature of politics and public policy.

In the mid-1950s, President Eisenhower asked Congress to award railroad executives authority to modify p... [Read More]
