Chicago went from nothing in 1830 to become the second-largest city
in the nation in 1900, while the Midwest developed to become one of
the world's foremost urban areas. This book is an economic history
of the Chicago metropolitan area from the 1820s to the present. It
examines the city in its Midwestern region and compares it to the
other major cities of the North. This book uses theories of the
economics of location and other economic models to explain much of
Chicago's history. Chicago maintained its status as the
second-largest city through the first decades of the 20th century,
but rapid growth shifted to the Sunbelt following World War II.
Since the 1950s the city's history can be divided into four
distinct periods; growth with suburbanization (1950-1970), absence
of growth, continued suburbanization, and central city crisis
(1970-1990), rebound in the 1990s, and financial crisis and deep
recession after 2000. Through it all Chicago has maintained its
position as the economic capital of the Midwest. The book is a
synthesis of available literature and public data, and stands as an
example of using economics to understand much of the history of
Chicago. This book is intended for the college classroom, urban
scholars, and for those interested in the history of one of world's
foremost urban areas.
