The Case Against Railway Nationalisation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Case Against Railway Nationalisation

'The nationalisation of the railways,' said a Socialist writer in Justice, in its issue of September 16, 1912, 'has been on the programme of our organisation since its inception nearly thirty years ago; but we have advocated it merely as a step towards the socialisation of all the means of distribution with those of production.'

Yet, while the subject has thus formed a prominent item on the Socialist programme for three decades, the actual position would not be rightly understood if railway nationalisation should be looked upon as exclusively a Socialist question.
