Economics of Transport: The Swedish Case 1780–1980. By Thomas Thorburn. Södertälje, Sweden: Almqvist and Wicksell International, 2000. Pp. 589. SEK 422.
该书构建了瑞典两个世纪的运输支出数据，并用模型分析运输改善对工业化的关键作用，对经济史和运输研究者有重要参考价值。
This is an important book, with implications far beyond the Swedish case. The author has painstakingly constructed a unique aggregate series of transport expenditures covering two centuries (the book contains 260 pages of appendices). He uses this information in a series of models that analyze the crucial role of transport improvements in Swedish economic development, with a special focus on industrialization.
