Robert Fitch's The Assassination of New York unearthed Gotham's great secret: how its multinational banks and landowning families, led by the Rockefellers, scuttled the City's matchless port and planned the destruction of its once rich manufacturing base.
In this fascinating new edition, Fitch shows how Giuliani provided a record transfer of wealth from welfare poor to real estate rich. His most lasting legacy turns out to be the accumulation of the greatest debt in urban history, turning New York into the Enron of cities. The city and the state now owe more than Argentina. Schools earmarked for money remain dilapidated. Billions disappeared into organized crime- dominated precincts.
Fitch updates his classic story of how the capitol of free enterprise was built by state planning and maintained by city subsidies. He adds an insider's account of the Second Battle of Lower Manhattan now unfolding between the city's uptown and downtown real estate titans.
Author Biography: Robert Fitch teaches Political Science at Long Island University. He is a former union organizer and a consultant to New York City trade unions. His books include Who Rules the Corporations and Ghana: End of an Illusion, both with Mary Oppenheimer.

reviewed Assassination Of New York on February 16, 2015 Assassination Of New York
Tony Campolo outlines his vision of church based community development. The book contains alot of good ideas but seems weak on real substance. In typical Tony fashion he makes some sweeping statements with spotty verification or referencing. That being said, Tony is to be commended for painting a broad vision for the church's role in reviving the city. The book is dated a bit (written around 2000), and in particular some of the things he says regarding Eastern University are painfully no longer true. It was interesting to read the original vision for the School for Social Change (first called the Insitutte for Urban Studies), and how far we have strayed.
