Résumé
"Railroads and Revolution: The Transformation of Transportation in the 19th Century" by Oliver Shaw explores the profound impact of railroads on society, economy, and politics during the 19th century. The book delves into how the rise of the railroad revolutionized transportation, connecting distant regions and fueling the growth of industry, trade, and national unity. It examines the technological advancements that made railroads possible, the social changes they brought about, and the economic forces that propelled their rapid expansion.
Through a historical lens, Shaw uncovers the role of railroads in shaping the modern world, from the industrial heartlands of Britain and the United States to the colonial economies in Africa and Asia. He highlights the cultural significance of railroads, showing how they were integral to the formation of national identities and global trade networks. At the same time, the book addresses the environmental costs, social inequalities, and the rise of financial speculation that accompanied the railroad boom.
