About the Book

From the Publisher The Driver is a classic novel, original written in the 1920s by famous economist of the period, Garet Garrett. It tells the story of a well-known and widely criticised entrepreneur who takes over a failing railway and turns it into a hugely successful business, along with the major boost it gives the wider economy. a classic in the tale of how misunderstood the role of entrepreneurs in our lives is, and the challenges they face to achieve.

The bankers were indignant. The audacity of a stock market gambler wanting to sit on a railroad board! What wouldanybody think? He took his case to the courts and was beaten. Another time he unexpectedly appeared with actual control of a small railroad, having bought it surreptitiously during many months in the open market place; but as he held it mostly with credit borrowed from the banks his position was vulnerable. It would not do for a gambler like this to own a railroad, the bankers said; so his loans were called away from him and he had to sell out at a heart-breaki
