THE BIGGEST CORPORATE CONSPIRACY IN HISTORYPUBLIC TRANSIT: “WELFARE ON WHEELS”No words are sweeter music to the auto and oil industries. In 1922 General Motors president Alfred P Sloan began a secretive campaign to get rid of popular electric trains. It went into high gear in 1935.In 1926, streetcars in the United States carried more than twelve billion passengers. There were fast electric trains joining Chicago and Milwaukee, Houston and Galveston and other cities across North America. By 1960, nearly all of this was gone.THE WHOLE STORYIt’s all here: the backroom deals that transformed every city in North America. In Minnesota, the conspirators recruited gangsters; some went to jail. The saga is full of heroes too - men and women who stood up to the car business and Big Oil. This book covers places never before exposed, including Canada, Kansas City, Kentucky, New Jersey, Oklahoma City, Portland, Savannah and Seattle. A bonus chapter deals with car dealers’, manufacturers’ and oil companies’ successful campaign in California to stop electric cars and trucks.
