Iniciativa privada na Inglaterra da Revolução Industrial





Friedrich Engels explica:
“The whole British Empire, and especially England, which sixty years ago, had as bad roads as Germany or France then had, is now covered by a network of the finest roadways; and these, too, like almost everything else in England, are the work of private enterprise, the State having done very little in this direction… In England alone, there are 2,200 miles of canals and 1,800 miles of navigable river… These improvements, too, like the railroads and roadways, are nearly all the work of private individuals and companies….” Friedrich Engels, The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 (Project Gutenberg e-book) p. 23-24 – first edition in German 1845
