What happens when economists turn their analytical gaze on the sprawling, chaotic world of transport? Transport, edited by Denys Munby as part of the prestigious Penguin Modern Economics series, presents a rigorous and illuminating collection of readings that dissects the economic principles underpinning road, rail, air, and urban transit systems. The anthology assembles seminal essays and papers from leading economists and policy thinkers, arguing that transport is not merely a logistical concern but a fundamental driver of economic efficiency, social equity, and urban planning — a truth as relevant today as when first published. Munby's editorial hand is authoritative and precise, curating contributions that address pricing theory, investment appraisal, cost-benefit analysis, and the thorny questions of public versus private provision of transport infrastructure. The collection sits at the intersection of theory and policy, making it an indispensable resource for students of economics, urban planners, and policy makers alike. For anyone seeking to understand why transport decisions carry such profound economic and social consequences, this volume issues a challenge that is difficult to put down — and harder still to refute.
