Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Government Ownership of Public Utility Service Undertakings During the latter part of 1915 a Special Committee on Municipal Ownership was appointed by Francis B. Kellogg, President of the City Club of Los Angeles, with Charles K. Mohler, Consulting Engineer, Chairman. The first result of the Committee's work was embodied in a report (based on 1915 data then available) presented during the fall of 1916, and given to the press. This part of the report is still left mainly on the 1915 basis. A supplemental report was subsequently prepared, a brief synopsis of which was presented to the Club at its regular meeting on Saturday, June 3oth, 1917, by the Committee Chairman. Both reports have been almost wholly the work of Mr. Mohler. These reports contain a vast amount of detail information which should be made available to those interested in public service finances and municipal ownership questions. It is believed that much of the data in the supplemental report and the method of presentation are original and unique.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Ownership of Public Utilities in the United States The purpose in writing the present book has been to analyze the factors involved in the question of Government ownership of public utilities. The writer tried to convey his conviction that the question of Government ownership of public utilities and especially railroads in the United States is essentially one not of railroad management and operation itself, but of general economics and politics. To his mind, Government ownership of public utilities means absolute Government control not only of the industries but also of the politics in the various States and in the Union generally. It means practically, if not formally, abolition of our democratic institutions and of the very spirit of democracy, and substitutes for the rule of the people, for the people, and by the people, an autocracy of the central government. It means abolition of the present division of the country into forty-eight sovereign and independent States, and reduction of the States to simple electral districts, as well as loss by the States of their rights to tax railroad properties within their boundaries as an exercise of their right of sovereignty. It means also forcing into politics our great corporations, and introducing a spirit of corruption and political subserviency at a time when the spirit of militant democracy is awakened in the land by the events of the past four years. It means also giving one of the most potent arguments into the hands of the extreme socialist groups and thus reinforcing the sinister cohorts of enemy and Bolshevist propaganda. The writer desires to make it perfectly clear that at no time does he wish to imply that advocates of Government ownership are harboring such intentions as abolishing the democratic institutions of this country or assisting the enemy in his vicious endeavor to disorganize and destroy our nation. In a matter of national life, however, it is not the intentions that count but the facts, and it is with facts and not intentions that the author of the present book has tried to deal.

Book excerpt: We have spent the last three decades engaged in a pointless and irrelevant debate about the relative merits of privatization or nationalization. We have been arguing about the wrong thing while sitting on a goldmine of assets. Don’t worry about who owns those assets, worry about whether they are managed effectively. Why does this matter? Because despite the Thatcher/ Reagan economic revolution, the largest pool of wealth in the world – a global total that is much larger than the world’s total pensions savings, and ten times the total of all the sovereign wealth funds on the planet – is still comprised of commercial assets that are held in public ownership. If professionally managed, they could generate an annual yield of 2.7 trillion dollars, more than current global spending on infrastructure: transport, power, water, and communications. Based on both economic research and hands-on experience from many countries, the authors argue that publicly owned commercial assets need to be taken out of the direct and distorting control of politicians and placed under professional management in a ‘National Wealth Fund’ or its local government equivalent. Such a move would trigger much-needed structural reforms in national economies, thus resurrect strained government finances, bolster ailing economic growth, and improve the fabric of democratic institutions. This radical, reforming book was named one of the "Books of the Year".by both the FT and The Economist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent corporate scandals, the United States is among the world’s least corrupt nations. But in the nineteenth century, the degree of fraud and corruption in America approached that of today’s most corrupt developing nations, as municipal governments and robber barons alike found new ways to steal from taxpayers and swindle investors. In Corruption and Reform, contributors explore this shadowy period of United States history in search of better methods to fight corruption worldwide today. Contributors to this volume address the measurement and consequences of fraud and corruption and the forces that ultimately led to their decline within the United States. They show that various approaches to reducing corruption have met with success, such as deregulation, particularly “free banking,” in the 1830s. In the 1930s, corruption was kept in check when new federal bureaucracies replaced local administrations in doling out relief. Another deterrent to corruption was the independent press, which kept a watchful eye over government and business. These and other facets of American history analyzed in this volume make it indispensable as background for anyone interested in corruption today.
