HTML:<b>How - and why - did one of the world's greatest cities come to be teetering on the edge of bankruptcy?</b> 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.<br /> <br /> "<b>A tremendously impressive combination of reporting and analysis</b> that illuminates not only New York's situation, but also the most basic trends in the politics and economy of the nation as a whole" - James Fallows, Washington Editor, THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY<br /> <br /> <b>"Absolute must reading for anyone concerned with New York and the urban future."</b> - George Sternlieb, Director, Centor for Urban Policy Researcch, Rutgers University.
