Freeways:
“It doesn’t take long before the politicians begin to catch on that those people want automobiles very badly, they are very envious of the rich man who has them. They all dream of self locomotion ever covering larger patterns. They realize they would be very popular and get reelected if they build some highways. So quite independent of what it is going to cost, they set about to build highways. They don’t have to worry about the costs the way the business executives do. We then see that highway building is really a very big activity, covering a lot of land and is not specialized at all. It is quite a generalized affair. … We have the politician really coordinating the capabilities of corporations, all of which are integrated for special purposes.”
