Contrary to popular belief, the automobile is not a
twentieth-century invention. A steam-powered version of this
vehicle was in use in Great Britain as early as the 1830s, and both
steam- and petroleum-powered automobiles were operating in France
and Germany by 1880. This volume traces the world political and
economic forces that brought about the suppression of the first
steam-powered carriage and the ultimate triumph of the gas-fueled
automobile, which has played a crucial role in shaping the modern
capitalist economy.
