We focused most of conversation on Fear City. Most surprising thing was how deep social democracy was embedded in the city prior to the crisis of 70s. Was this surprising to you? Is this a gap in our collective memory? If so, what explains the gap?
Main takeaway of Fear City seems to be that understanding this history is important to our larger understanding of the rise of neoliberalism. Which makes sense as it being a piece of your larger body of work—a sort of sequel to Invisible Hands.
A much grainier history of neoliberalism, less about an ideological movement and more about how people take advantage of a crisis. Agree with this assessment? Was this one of your objectives?
Budget crisis led to a crisis of democracy in that elites took control of the commanding heights of the city. Seems consistent with Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine about how crises allow neoliberals to restructure things to their advantage. New Orleans schools as a classic example.
But your book makes it seem that the elite had far less agency, at least in this case. What do you make of this comparison and evaluation?
As capitalism shifted from a focus on heavy industry to finance, were urban crises like this overdetermined? And this is not even to mention deindustrialization, suburbanization, white flight, etc, the other developments that contributed to crises and neoliberal restructuring.
Argument made by some New Yorkers that New York City bore the costs of the American South’s racism, not to mention poverty induced in part by American imperialism, seems really important—a really good argument that the nation should support cities like New York. Thoughts on this?
Trump hangs over this history like a dark shadow. You dedicate 3 or so pages to his redevelopment of the Commodore Hotel when he was a young man, & the hundreds of millions of dollars the city gifted Trump in tax breaks over decades related to that single redevelopment project.
When you began researching this project, it had to have been before Trump emerged as a serious presidential candidate. What was it like seeing his rise as you worked on this particular book?
The question, that I believe @RayHaberski asked, was something along the lines of- does neoliberalism provide a new umbrella to understand conservatism, and Kimberly Phillips-Fine ended up talking about the transformation of liberalism. . . My follow up question for all of you is
Does neoliberalism help us understand conservatism , liberalism, or both (and of course, also, by the way, what is neoliberalism?)
