In the years following its near-bankruptcy in 1976 until the end
of the 1980s, New York City came to epitomize the debt-driven,
deal-oriented, economic boom of the Reagan era. Exploring the
interplay between social structural change and political power
during this period, John Mollenkopf asks why a city with a large
minority population and a long tradition of liberalism elected a
conservative mayor who promoted real-estate development and
belittled minority activists. Through a careful analysis of voting
patterns, political strategies of various interest groups, and
policy trends, he explains how Mayor Edward Koch created a powerful
political coalition and why it ultimately failed.
