The United States, France and Britain use markedly different kinds of industrial
policies to foster economic growth today. To understand the origins of these different
policies, this book examines the evolution of public policies governing one of the
first modern industries, the railroads. The author challenges conventional thinking
in economics, political science and sociology by arguing that cultural meaning plays
an important role in the development of purportedly rational policies designed to
promote industrial growth. This book has implications for the study of rational institutions
of all sorts, including science, management and economics, as well as for the study
of culture.
