Reviews
A timely and welcome appeal to urban historians to take neoliberalism seriously as an analytical category whose history demands to be written, This collection from urban historians Sugrue and Diamond invites readers to explore the legacy of neoliberalism associated with initiatives embraced by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The principal arguments put forward focus on the conscious role played by urban planners, financiers, and municipal and state governments to retreat from a sense of public space and benefits., The authors in this collection reveal the long, contentious, and often ironic history of neoliberalism's ascendance, rooted in local struggles with broad implications for our lives today and for the world we want to build for tomorrow., A necessary intervention. The book poses questions about the concept of neoliberalism that will resonate well beyond the field of history, provoking discussion in urban studies and geography, as well as the social sciences., As one who has found little interpretive value in neoliberalism as a term, I am deeply persuaded by the indispensability of this book. Neoliberal Cities reminds historians of the importance of sharp conceptual language. It shows how sound historical research can often vex lazy deployments of one of our moment's most weighted analytic terms. This is the kind of book one thinks with and grows smarter.

Synopsis
Traces decades of troubled attempts to fund private answers to public urban problems The American city has long been a laboratory for austerity, governmental decentralization, and market-based solutions to urgent public problems such as affordable housing, criminal justice, and education. Through richly told case studies from Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and New York, Neoliberal Cities provides the necessary context to understand the always intensifying racial and economic inequality in and around the city center. In this original collection of essays, urban historians and sociologists trace the role that public policies have played in reshaping cities, with particular attention to labor, the privatization of public services, the collapse of welfare, the rise of gentrification, the expansion of the carceral state, and the politics of community control. In so doing, Neoliberal Cities offers a bottom-up approach to social scientific, theoretical, and historical accounts of urban America, exploring the ways that activists and grassroots organizations, as well as ordinary citizens, came to terms with new market-oriented public policies promoted by multinational corporations, financial institutions, and political parties. Neoliberal Cities offers new scaffolding for urban and metropolitan change, with attention to the interaction between policymaking, city planning, social movements, and the market.

    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.

    The books came in 2 separate deliveries almost a week apart. This wasn’t passed along by the seller and they didn’t respond to my questions until over a week later. This was a bit frustrating, but the Bible’s were new as described. I’m not sure I would buy from this seller again. Thanks
