  • Summary

  • We’re going back in time to Episode 144 to chat with Matthew Heins about his book The Globalization of American Infrastructure: The Shipping Container and Freight Transportation. We’ve done a lot of fun shows and I had forgotten about this one until I was looking back trying to think of a good oldie to share with you all.

    Matthew talks about how the American highway and rail systems created a global standard for shipping containers, the local actors shaping globalization, containerization’s effects on labor and relevance to an automated trucking future, and the massive intermodal terminals in cities like Chicago.
