But life behind the wheel of an automobile didn't come naturally to Americans. Crooked politicians, unscrupulous businessmen, burning streetcars, and convoluted tax shenanigans are a few of the players in this gripping tale of corruption, greed, and endless miles of asphalt. In Andy Singer's accessible, scandalous tale of motordom, comics, text, and historic photographs tell the story of the rise of the U.S. highway system and the corresponding demise of rail and public transportation. He also explores how we can ditch the car and rebuild a functional transportation system that can bring wealth, happiness, and freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Singer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621064867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621064862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Microcosm Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.79h x 5.38w x 0.47d","brand":"Andy Singer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073798500607,"sku":"9781621064862","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f523ea3-139f-4b09-91c4-26655dd79f03.jpg?v=1685449968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-we-drive-andy-singer-9781621064862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
