The Great Collapse: Higher Fares Or Public Ownership is a book written by Louis Waldman in 1919. The book discusses the collapse of the New York City transit system in the early 20th century and the resulting debate over whether to increase fares or to implement public ownership of the transit system. Waldman, a former member of the New York State Assembly, argues in favor of public ownership as a solution to the problems facing the transit system. He provides a detailed analysis of the history and current state of the transit system, including its financial struggles and labor disputes. Waldman also examines the political and economic factors that contributed to the collapse of the transit system and the arguments for and against public ownership. Overall, The Great Collapse is a comprehensive and insightful examination of a critical moment in the history of public transportation in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
