Bought this one at a bargain:

Gerold Ambrosius & Christian Henrich-Franke, Integration of Infrastructures in Europe in Historical Comparison (2015) https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-22467-1

« This book compares the cross-border integration of infrastructures in Europe such as post, telecommunication and transportation in the 19th century and the period following the Second World War. In addition to providing a unique perspective on the development of cross-border infrastructures and the international regimes regulating them, it offers the first systematic comparison of a variety of infrastructure sectors, identifies general developmental trends and supplies theoretical explanations. In this regard, integration is defined as international standardization, network building and the establishment of international organizations to regulate cross-border infrastructures. »

I'm not just interested in #infrastructure because we seem to stand at a threshold of changes from old towards new structures (some would rather call it decline and decay) but also because we can "change" "the" "world" only inasmuch as we can change infrastructures, or rather: systems of integrated and mutually depended infrastructures.

It's not (or not merely) "bad bad capitalism" but the tenacity of established infratructures that stand in the way of a fairer and more sustainable distributions of resources and access to goods and services.
