Getting There

Getting There PDF Author: Stephen B. Goddard
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226300436
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 382

Book Description
From the glory days of the railroad to today's gridlocked, six-lane highway, Getting There dramatizes America's shift from rail to road transportation, how it has robbed Americans of the choice of travel options enjoyed by Europeans, and why it threatens the nation's economic future. Stephen B. Goddard reveals how government joined automakers and roadbuilders to nearly destroy the rails, and why the 21st century will witness high-tech remedies and a railroad resurgence.
