  Eniment domain doesn’t appear to be the problem here lmao

  It’s more like

  Try making a railroad when the industry has been captured by regulations written by the big players whose purpose is to erect barriers to entry for any new railroad companies that might want to start up, and reduce costs by reducing safety. Also, you need angel investors to give you billions and anyone with the means to do that is already in bed with the big boys so they’re not going to give you shit.

    Except it wasn’t a new railroad company in the book.

      It is abundantly clear that we’re not talking about the details of the book anymore. We are talking about that one passage and how it relates to our current society.

  The protagonist being in a privileged position due to government seisuze of private property is certainly an excellent point. I just feel the state exercising power in the other direction, against productive ventures instead of property owners, may be a little too in vogue these days.
