Most economic theory assumes a pure capitalism of perfect competition. This book is a penetrating critique of the rhetoric and practice of conventional economic theory. It explores how even in the United States—the most capitalist of countries—the market has always been subject to numerous constraints. Perelman examines the way in which these constraints have been defended by such figures as Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, and Herbert Hoover, and were indeed essential to the expansion of U.S. capitalism. In the process, he rediscovers the critical element in conservative thought—the “forgotten traditions of railroad economics”—that has been lost in the neoliberal present. This important and original historical reconstruction points the way to a discipline of economics freed from the mythology of the market.

Excerpt from Railroad Economics: Or Notes, With Comments From a Tour Over Ohio Railways Under the Hon. H. Sabine, Commissioner of Railroads and Telegrahs Indeed railroading illustrates perhaps better than anything else the fact that this is eminently a mechanical age.

Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF THE UNITED STATES Development of Railroad Systems. The individual lines comprising the vast net work of American railroads for the most part can be conveniently grouped in accordance with system organization and geographical location. This arises from the fact that railroad expansion followed along the important channels of trade between great centers of traffic. A number of ill-defined geographical zones were gradually established, each comprising a region of large traffic interchange. These regions marked the territorial limits of many of the great railroads and became the basis of regional freight rate structures.1 Thus, in the early years of American rail transportation, the aim was to connect the Atlantic ports with the Great Lakes and with the Ohio and Mississippi River settlements. The pioneer American railroad enterprise, The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, as its name implies was built to handle the traffic interchange which had formerly passed by turnpike between the tide-water sections of the East to the fertile region beyond the Alleghenies. The proposed construction of the Erie Railroad by the State of New York in the early thirties had the paramount 1 See McPherson, "Railroad Freight Rates," etc., Chapter VII. object of facilitating and promoting the intercourse between the metropolis of the State and the Lake Erie ports. In course of time, railroad development advanced sufficiently to permit through shipments from one extreme of the natural geographical divisions to another. The railroad companies whose lines afforded this continuous transportation came to be known as trunk lines. This distinguishes them from local lines which serve only intermediate sections and which must interchange...

Excerpt from American Railroad Economics: A Text-Book for Investors and Students In no other country and at no previous time have railroad operations received as much attention as at present in the United States, and it is doubtful whether these matters have ever been more fla grantly misinterpreted. The economic importance of American railroads and the participation of the people as individual investors in their rapid growth and development creates a demand for the proper understanding of railroad activities and operating results. Government regulation under the Inter state Commerce Act has promoted and assisted this demand. The publications of the Federal and State commissions are now as important sources of statistical, information as the reports issued by the individual railroad companies. These published sta tistical returns are in many ways useful to the rail road manager, to the investor and to the public. The expensiveness of compilation and the liability to abuse and misinterpretation render necessary the utmost wariness and care in analyzing such data.
