Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Mother of Trusts: Railroads and Their Relation to the Man with the Plow is a historical book written by Jesse Hardesty in 1899. The book examines the relationship between railroads and farmers during the late 19th century in America. Hardesty discusses how the expansion of railroads allowed farmers to transport their goods more efficiently and at a lower cost, which in turn helped increase agricultural production and profits. The book also explores the role of railroad trusts and monopolies, and how they impacted both farmers and consumers. Hardesty argues that while railroads were essential for the growth of American agriculture, the power of railroad trusts needed to be regulated to prevent exploitation. The book provides a detailed account of the history of railroads in America and their impact on the agricultural industry, making it a valuable resource for historians, economists, and anyone interested in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
