Transport in Capitalism: Transport Policy as Social Policy

---

The book Transport in Capitalism: Transport Policy as Social Policy examines the relationship between transportation systems, capitalist economies, public policy, and sustainable development. Oliver Schwedes analyzes how transportation is influenced by economic growth, the division of labor, competition, mobility, and broader social and political dynamics. The book explores the objectives of transport policy, the roles of various stakeholders in decision-making, and the implementation of transportation policies through different case studies. It highlights the challenges of achieving sustainable transportation, particularly in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and addressing the negative environmental and social impacts of transport development. The author argues that technological innovation alone is insufficient to create a sustainable transportation system. Therefore, transport policy should be understood as an integral part of social policy that considers public interests, environmental sustainability, and changes in economic structures. This book is relevant to students, researchers, policymakers, and professionals working in transportation, urban and regional planning, political economy, and sustainable development.
