Power Failure

`Power Failure is a book of great value, both for students of new york politics generally and government, and those interested in urban politics ... It is well organized and is very clearly and straightforwardly written. The authors are extremely well grounded in the social, economic and demographic changes that have shaped contemporary New York, and in the implications of these changes for politics and governance in the city ... The practical bent of this book - its consistant focus on reform - is unusual and refreshing.' Gerald Benjamin, The Rockefeller Institute of Government, State University of New York
`Power Failure contains a lot of useful information and helps fill a gap.' Local Government Studies
