Government regulation of the railroads is probably the most important example of federal intervention in the economy from the Civil War to World War I. It is also a key to an assessment of the impulses and motives behind Progressivism. In Railroads and Regulation, Gabriel Kolko presents a case study of the relationship of the economy to the political process in the United States during the years from 1877 to 1916.

The author discusses the extent to which the railroad industry encouraged and relied on national political solutions--such as the creation of the first significant federal regulatory agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, in 1887--to its economic problems. He shows how this reliance created a pattern of interdependence between economic and political power that set a precedent for government regulation of the economy in the twentieth century. Drawing on new material and manuscript sources, Dr. Kolko describes the roles of the railroad men in the movement for federal regulation. The attitudes of the railroads toward regulation are placed in the broader context of the determination of governmental economic policies--policies frequently formulated in response to railroad pressure.

Dr. Kolko traces the continuity in governmental regulation between 1877 and 1900 and during the administration of Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, with fresh material of Progressive leaders in the period from 1910 to 1916. He analyzes the origin of each major federal railroad act and the contending forces trying to shape the legislation, and gives an illuminating discussion of the relationship of the state and federal regulation.

Railroads and Regulation, 1877-1916 was awarded the Transportation History Prize of the Organization of American Historians.

Pretty good! Closed and open just fine. They wash well and dry fast. Enough room to add what's needed. Easy for adults to open but kids will need help. Color is just like the picture shown! Overall I like them so far!

Highly recommended!
I ’ve been using the Age Defense Face Sunscreen Lotion for a while now, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast, making it perfect for everyday use. It provides broad-spectrum protection, shielding my skin from both UVA and UVB rays while also containing anti-aging ingredients that help keep my skin looking youthful and hydrated. One of the standout features is its moisturizing effect—it doesn’t dry out my skin or clog pores, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. I also appreciate that it layers well under makeup without pilling. The added antioxidants are a bonus, offering extra protection against environmental stressors. The only minor downside is that it has a slight scent, which might not be ideal for those who prefer fragrance-free products. However, the scent fades quickly and isn’t overpowering. Overall, this sunscreen is a great choice for anyone looking for reliable sun protection with added skincare benefits. It’s effective, comfortable to wear, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
