Building the Future: What History Can Teach Us About Infrastructure Investment

Our modern society is built upon massively complex supply chains, and underpinning much of what makes that possible are equally massive, fundamental infrastructures. And yet, despite the importance of these systems, whenever they're brought up, much of the population balks at the price tag, deeming them too costly to be worth the effort.
