New York Unbound is a critical examination of the problems
and prospects of New York City as it approaches the twenty-first
century and a call to arms for a new infusion of energy and
creativity in charting its future. As the authors take stock of the
city's remarkable resources, they build the argument that the
wellsprings of New York's continuing prosperity reside not in
further regulation, taxation, subsidization, and political
intransigence, but rather in the release of market forces as the
stimulant to further growth and greater prosperity and opportunity.
From the creation of better housing to the streamlining of social services, the lessons proffered in New York Unbound will have implications not only for the future of the world's greatest city, but for every city attempting to grapple with the challenges of the future.
