India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. There were vast riches to be exploited and vast numbers of people to be subjugated. How better to achieve these aims than by building a rail network that facilitated the export of raw material and made it easier for troops to travel around the country to tackle uprisings?

Am Ende des Tages fragen wir uns, wo der Tag geblieben ist, am Ende des Jahres, wo das Jahr – und am Ende des Lebens? Es nützt nichts, sich vorzunehmen, etwas zu ändern, solange wir nicht die Gesetzmäßigkeit verstehen, die gegen uns arbeitet. Mit Hilfe der Spieltheorie lassen sich wie in einem Spiel Reaktionen und Spielzüge unserer Gegenspieler vorhersehen. Unter allen möglichen Gegenspielern gibt es einen, der besonders heimtückisch ist: wir selbst.
