NYC’s Fiscal Crisis and the Rise of Austerity Politics

Kimberly Phillips-Fein (NYU) speaks about her new book, Fear City, which challenges the orthodox view of the 1975-76 fiscal crisis as the result of wasteful, profligate spending under Mayor Lindsay, and the moment when labor, business, citizens, and financial interests joined in common sacrifice ​to keep New York City alive.

The Graduate Center’s Joshua B. Freeman and Frances Fox Piven reflect on what drove the crisis, and how its resolution permanently changed life and politics in the city.
