The exciting history of the founding of the railroad and List's involvement is illustrated by many photographic documents.<br>The content- The American exile of Friedrich List (1825-1832)- Friedrich List and the indigenous American population- The importance of coal for the early industrialization- List`s railway project - the obstacles and first successes<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eugen Wendler studied economics and history and received his PhD at the University of Konstanz (Germany).
