This early work by Otto Hermann Kahn was originally published in 1918 and we are now republishing it as part of our WWI Centenary Series. ’Government Ownership of Railroads, and War Taxation’ is the text of an address before the National Industrial Conference Board New York, October 10, 1918. It details the speaker’s ideas for government economics and transport infrastructure during World War One. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world’s bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
