Front Cover
0 Reviews
Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2004 - Business & Economics - 229 pages
Through the eye of an economist Thalmann explores 200 years of the dynamics of freight transport development in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. With a strong underlying theme concerned with the impact of government intervention on the efficiency of the freight transport system, Thalmann is able to provide an insight into the differences and similarities of the two countries who are currently the pioneers of this industry and thus make interesting case studies for the rest of Europe. This book provides quality data in graphical form which is accessible to all. The Dynamics of Freight Transport Development will be an invaluable tool for researchers in the field of transportation and also for the more general reader interested in the past and future of transportation.
