This audiobook offers a compelling history of New York City's evolution from a beacon of middle-class hopes to a landscape marked by stark inequality. It explores the city's resurgence following the fiscal crisis of the 1970s through to the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting how financial and real estate sectors influenced this transformation. As affordable housing dwindled and charter schools siphoned resources, the narrative reveals the disproportionate impact of these changes on Black and Brown communities.
