NDLI: Investing in infrastructure

Content Provider	OECD iLibrary
Author	Love, Patrick
Abstract	William Topaz McGonagall is universally acknowledged as the worst poet who ever wrote in the English language, but that didn’t stop him having an intuitive grasp of the economics of infrastructure investment. As he argued in The Newport Railway published to celebrate the Tay Bridge and the trains it carried to Dundee, the thrifty housewives of Newport/To Dundee will often resort/Which will be to them profit and sport/By bringing cheap tea, bread, and jam/And also some of Lipton's ham/Which will make their hearts feel light and gay/And cause them to bless the opening day/Of the Newport Railway […] And if the people of Dundee/Should feel inclined to have a spree/I am sure 'twill fill their hearts with glee/By crossing o'er to Newport/And there they can have excellent sport.
