Title: The statist evolution of rail governance in the United States, 1830–1986
Abstract: As American capitalism's oldest major enterprise, the 155-year-old railroad industry offers a special opportunity for theorists to test hypotheses of governance and state intervention on a wide range of governance transformations. The history of railroad governance includes some of the earliest American developments of governance mechanisms, such as associations and corporate integration, as well as different forms of state intervention. It also provides an opportunity to examine long-term trends in an industry's governance transformations.
