legitimising London's transport monopoly 1900-1933 /[electronic resource] :by James Fowler. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xiii, 167 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Palgrave studies in economic history,2662-6500. - Palgrave studies in economic history..
1. Introduction and Historical Overview -- 2. Statistical Accounting and Legitimacy -- 3. The Loss of Legitimacy -- 4. Creating a Legitimate Public Monopoly -- 5. Conclusions.
This book offers a novel explanation of the transformation of London's transport from a free market to a public corporation rooted in social and political legitimacy rather than economic rationality. To become a single corporation London Transport first had to gain a 'social licence' to operate, and this book explains how and why. It considers how a revolution in data gathering during this period helped to justify the transition to a central, unified provider, while also investigating how reputational damage to key figures in the transport industry jeopardized the political and social legitimacy needed to manage public corporation on a large scale. The book combines archival research with academic insights from theories of legitimacy, statistical accounting and scientific management to explore how the employment of statistical information combined with skilful media repositioning allowed a new generation of figureheads in the transport business to emerge as honest, professional, and patriotic, making them suitable business leaders of a transport monopoly in London after 1933. This account of events combines the concepts of trust in numbers and trust in character to produce a wide-ranging, qualitative historical account of the creation a major public monopoly. It will be of interest to students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, including business and management history, transport policy, management and organization studies, public administration and public sector studies. James Fowler lectures on strategy and management at the University of Essex. His PhD and subsequent research interests are in business and management history where he has journal publications in Business History, Management History, Transport History and Essays in Economic and Business History. He has published two books on the history of London Transport and was the winner of James Soltow Prize for Economic and Business History in 2022.
