| Description | Since the beginning of the rail transport in the 19th century the state regulated construction of railways and their operation - with varying intensity, with different goals, with different results. There are many examples of abuse competitive position, distortion of market relations, cartels, monopolies, network effects and consequences of a revaluation, the problem of fixed costs, etc. in the history - and we can too often find more or less hidden state action behind. Selected case studies help answer the question: why still we go by train, when we drive a car and fly? |
