What reading level is Some Often Overlooked Points Regarding Government Ownership of Railways book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first railway in Japan was built by the state, and its recent acquisition of the pri- vately-owned mileage was not" a revolutionary change of policy but simply the addition of the relatively large privately-owned net to the already existing state lines.
10 POLITICAL AND MILITARY MOTIVES.
Political and military motives also have played an im- portant part. In Belgium it was fear of the hated capi- talists of Holland, from which his country had only re- cently been separated, that first stimu...lated King Leopold to begin railway construction. One of the most effective arguments used for the adoption of government owner- ship in Switzerland was that a large part of the stock of the railways was owned by foreigners, and that this involved political and military dangers for the republic. State purchase was urged by Bismarck in Germany as a means of binding the parts of the new empire together and making the entire railway system available for mili- tary purposes on a month's notice. Similar motives, and the example being set by Germany, stimulated France to acquire the several small railways taken over in 1877-78, and the government of Austria to push forward a policy of state acquisition.
