| Abstract | "The Congressional Budget Office has laid out seven infrastructure categories: highways, public transit, wastewater treatment, water resources, air traffic control, airports, and municipal water supply. This book focuses on a broadened version of the first and, in many ways, most visible and historically significant category: roads and bridges, as well as their aquatic kin, the nineteenth-century canal. Also examined is US transportation policy from the Constitutional Convention through the presidency of Donald Trump-that is, from "internal improvements" in antebellum America to the current trope of "crumbling infrastructure.""-- Provided by publisher. |
