Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Economics of Transport Transport problems are not of recent origin. In one form or another they have arisen ever since man had any goods to move from place to place, and as transport has become more completely organised they have provoked increasing controversy. Nor can it be said that their solution has never been attempted. In the railway period alone Parliament and traders have given much time to their elucidation. But it is only in recent years that they have been systematically studied. The new Universities and Schools of Economics having included the subject of transport in the curriculum for their commerce degrees, it has come to be treated as a branch of economics deserving of accurate, scientific inquiry and study. The aim of this volume is to assist this study, and consequently much that has been written is elementary. There is also much that, necessarily, is sketchy, because, with a subject so comprehensive, it has been found impossible to deal in detail with every branch; to have done so would have required several volumes. There is much also that, inevitably, touches controversial ground. Where this is so an attempt has been made to present both sides of the question as fairly and as adequately as possible. But while the primary aim has been to produce a text-book for the student, the authors hope that it will be found interesting to the general reader, particularly to the business man whose daily affairs bring him into close contact with the problems of transport. This volume was mainly written before the War, and was first published in 1915. The first edition having been exhausted, it was necessary to reprint, and advantage has been taken to add to the sections on Railways and Shipping, giving in both instances some account of what happened during the War period. Some of the appendices have also been brought up to date. These should prove useful both to the student and to the general reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economics of Railway Transport It is hoped that the result may be of some interest and profit to two classes of readers to economic students as exemplifying the degree' to which practice must necessarily differ from theory, the concrete from the abstract; and to railway men, as showing the operation of scientific principles in their work. Of the presence of numerous faults of omission and commission no one can be more conscious than the writer. In regard to these he would plead the exigencies of time, for this book has had to be completed within the limits of a single furlough. As to other faults which may, and no doubt will, be obvious to the experienced reader, he can say nothing save to express the hope that his work may possibly induce others of wider experience and greater leisure to enter a field which up to the present has perhaps hardly received from British writers the attention due to it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Transportation: A History of Its Economics and of Its Relation to the State So great has been the development of railway transportation, and so important have been the laws of the State's relation to it, since President Hadley's book was written, in 1885, that it is vitally necessary to bring the statement down to the present. The last quarter of a century has been so full of significant change, that it must necessarily be included in any work on railways. Railway Transportation is a new book, even in that part which treats of the early years, though it is, with his permission, based upon Hadley's Railroad Transportation - a work so admirable that it deserves to live as long as railways are the subject of serious study. Its chief purpose is to revise and enlarge Hadley's book. It traces the history of railway transportation in its more vital aspects in Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and the United States - in the most characteristic sections of the world. It traces this historical development, not for the sake of the antiquarian, solely to throw light upon the present management and regulation of the railways; and, along with the historical narrative, runs that spirit of criticism which makes comparisons and estimates of values.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of a Conference on the Economics of Highway Transport: Called by the Highway and Highway Transport Education Committee, Held at the University of Maryland, College Park, July 27, 1921 The Highway and Highway Transport Education Committee has called this conference for the purpose of getting your advice and help. The rapid development of motor transport, with increased production of motor vehicles and consequent stimulation of public interest in highways, has raised economic questions difficult to answer. Many of these have not as yet even been clearly formulated. Technical schools have surprisingly few cours'es bearing on the subject, although it is of vital concern to every citizen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Economics Beginning approximately with the last quarter of the eighteenth century and continuing throughout that just closing there has been an almost revolutionary change in the organization and methods of productive industry. Among the most characteristic features Of this change is the increased importance Of the transportation ele ment in production. At the commencement of the period the necessary articles Of subsistence were, with few exceptions, wholly produced within the localities in which they were required for consumption, and ex changes between distant communities were practically restricted to articles of great value used only by those able to indulge in expensive luxuries. Means Of trans portation by water had improved but little, and those for transportation by land scarcely at all since the dawn of history. The movement of commodities was so costly as to be prohibitive of exchanges of ordinary food or textile products, so slow that perishable articles could traverse but the shortest distances, and accompanied by such excessive risks that at a few hundred miles from the regions of production the prices of even the most costly articles were doubled, trebled, or quadrupled. The contrast Offered at the present time is extreme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
