More Details
The Iowa Pool is the story of three rail companies - the Northwestern, the Burlington, and the Rock Island - controlling the Chicago-Omaha traffic lane in the 1870s. These three banded together, with no written contract, to fix rates and to divide business advantages. In an era of free competition, not everyone played fair. Author Grodinsky was an associate professor of finance at the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania.
