Railroads and American Political Development: Infrastructure, Federalism, and State Building
Zachary Callen
Tells the story of the US government's role in developing a national rail system - and the rail system's role in expanding the power of the federal government. The book reveals how state building, so often attributed to an aggressive national government, can also result from local governments making demands on the national state-a dynamic that can still be seen at work.
