How Rail Subsidies Kill Small Business

This fellow has a fine thesis, and that is the subsidized rails allowed those who concentrated production to crush the small local business.

Existing problems of excess energy consumption, pollution, big-box stores, the car culture, and suburban sprawl result from the “massive political pressure” that has already been applied, over the past several decades, to “redesign our cities, our farming, and our lives.” The root of all the problems Monbiot finds so objectionable is State intervention in the marketplace.

Just so.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
