Drop Dead

In "Drop Dead," acclaimed financial historian Richard Farley delves into the notorious New York City fiscal crisis of 1975, challenging widely accepted narratives that blame President Ford for abandoning the city. He argues that the crisis was a product of bipartisan corruption, involving political figures, bankers, and real estate moguls who prioritized their interests over the city's well-being. This exposé offers a revealing look at the intertwining of politics, banking, law, and real estate during a tumultuous era, serving as a cautionary tale for contemporary players in these arenas.
