KShio Canal Era, a rich analysis of state policies and their impact in direct¬
ing economic change, is an acknowledged classic on the subject of the pre-
Civil War transportation revolution. This
1987
edition contains a new pref¬
ace and bibliographic note by the author.
Professor
Scheiber
explores how Ohio
—
as a "public enterprise state,"
creating state agencies and mobilizing public resources for transport innova¬
tion and control
—
led in the processes of economic change before the Civil
War. No other historical account of the period provides so full and insightful
a portrayal of "law in action."
Scheiber
reveals the activities of American
nineteenth-century government in economic policy-making, finance,
administration, and entrepreneurial activities in support of economic devel¬
opment. He also provides the fullest available analysis of how "mercantilist"
theory was translated into concrete policies for state action.
His study is equally important as an economic history.
Scheiber
provides
a full account of waves of technological innovation and of the transformation
of Ohio's commerce, agriculture, and industrialization in an era of hectic
economic change. And, he tells the intriguing story of how the earliest
railroads of the Old Northwest were built and financed, finally confronting
the state-owned canal system with a devastating competitive challenge.
Amid the current debate surrounding "privatization," "deregulation,"
and the appropriate use of "industrial policy" by government to shape and
channel the economy, lessons of earlier government economic intervention
are too often forgotten. Scheiber's landmark study gives vital historical con¬
text to issues that we confront in new forms today. |
