註釋A nation's economy can be no more efficient than its transport system allows. The future pattern of road and rail transport in Britain is, of course, a subject of controversy, and it is sometimes forgotten that to be valid even arguments about "rationalization", "integrated policy" and "social cost" must be based on economic truths. There is real need of a dispassionate survey of the problems and principles involved. The importance of cost is the book's main theme. Every aspect of transport is examined from the economist's point of view -- function, development, structure, control, industrial relations -- and the central section consists of an expert analysis of the problems of pricing. Particular attention is paid to the question of competition between different methods of movement.
