Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 5.6 Mb
Overview: How – and why – did one of the world’s greatest cities come to be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy? Ken Auletta, writer for THE NEW YORKER and columnist for THE DAILY NEWS, shows how the decline of New York City was partly inevitable — the result of shifting migration patterns and rapidl technological innovations — and partly caused by anarchic political and economic factions, each angling for its own advantage. His lucid examination also pinpoints the core of New York City’s problems — the failure of liberal democratic government — and explores what this will mean for the future of all American cities.
