Capital Dilemma: Growth and Inequality in Washington, DC uncovers
and explains the dynamics that have influenced the contemporary
economic advancement of Washington, DC. This volume's unique
interdisciplinary approach using historical, sociological,
anthropological, economic, geographic, political, and linguistic
theories and approaches, captures the comprehensive factors related
to changes taking place in one of the world's most important
cities. Capital Dilemma clarifies how preexisting urban social
hierarchies, established mainly along race and class lines but also
along national and local interests, are linked with the city's
contemporary inequitable growth. While accounting for historic
disparities, this book reveals how more recent federal and city
political decisions and circumstances shape contemporary
neighborhood gentrification patterns, highlighting the layered
complexities of the modern national capital and connecting these
considerations to Washington, DC's past as well as to more recent
policy choices. As we enter a period where advanced service sector
cities prosper, Washington, DC's changing landscape illustrates
important processes and outcomes critical to other US cities and
national capitals throughout the world. The Capital Dilemma for DC,
and other major cities, is how to produce sustainable equitable
economic growth. This volume expands our understanding of the
contradictions, challenges and opportunities associated with
contemporary urban development.
