Bloomberg’s New York: Class and Governance in the Luxury City
Author: Julian Brash, Asst. Prof. Anthropology Montclair State University
5:30-7 PM
In his book, Bloomberg’s New York: Class and Governance in the Luxury City, Brash examines Bloomberg’s claim to run the city as a business, describing a philosophy that holds up the mayor as CEO, government as a private corporation, desirable residents and businesses as customers and clients, and the city itself as a product to be branded and marketed as a luxury good.
