This examination of the relationship of the economy to political
process in the United States from 1877 to 1916 shows how the
railroad industry encouraged and relied on national politics to
solve its economic problems, and created a precedent for government
regulation of the economy in the twentieth century. The continuity
in governmental regulation from 1877 to 1900, in the Progressive
Era, and in the administrations of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson are
pointed out. The origin of each major federal railroad act and
contending forces is analyzed. Federal regulation of the railroads,
probably the most important example of federal intervention in the
economy from the Civil War to World War I is used as a key in
reassessing the motives behind Progressivism. Originally published
in 1965. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
