Upstate New York is in a malaise. This husband and wife team of
sociologists, Alexander Thomas and Polly Smith, wanted to know why.
They take the reader on a tour of New York in order to diagnose the
problems affecting the state and what can be done to address the
issues. New York was built on the strengths of its strategic
location and growing population to become the 'Empire State' during
the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But a combination of
unfortunate decisions and the creation of new technologies in which
New York was no more competitive than other states translated into
New York losing its dominant position in the world economy. The
result has been several decades of deindustrialization and
population loss. This book includes recommendations for ideas that
can be further developed by the public.
