Rescue the Republic

"Rescue the Republic: The Necessity and Advantages of National Ownership of Railroads and Telegraphs" by Thomas Vincent Cator, originally published in 1892, presents a comprehensive argument for the nationalization of key infrastructure in the United States. Cator addresses objections to government ownership and demonstrates the benefits of state control using statistical evidence and examples from other countries. This work provides insight into late 19th-century debates on economic policy and the role of government, appealing to readers interested in the history of American economics and infrastructure.
