Economy Of Rates

""Economy of Rates: Private Versus Government Control"" is a book written by Marshall Monroe Kirkman and published in 1896. The book discusses the economic theory behind the control of rates by private companies versus government control. The author argues that private control of rates leads to more efficient and effective pricing, while government control leads to inefficiencies and higher costs for consumers. Kirkman examines the historical and contemporary examples of both private and government control of rates, including railroads, telegraphs, and telephone companies. He also explores the political and social implications of rate control, including the impact on competition and the role of government in regulating the economy. Overall, ""Economy of Rates"" is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of an important economic issue that continues to be relevant today.Volume Eight Of The Science Of Railways.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
