Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finances of the City of New York The Finances Of the Empire City Of New York and those Of the Empire Republic Of China have many points of resemblance. For instance, the method of budget-making in New York City, some six years ago, was very similar to the method used in China under the monarchy, which con sisted in granting budgetary appropriations in lump sums, without any definite and clear segregation according to f unc tions and Objects Of expenditure. Again, the debt Of New York City. Has been allowed to grow to its present size of over a billion dollars, without any attempt on the part Of the city Officials, until recently, to keep it in check by intro ducing scientific methods Of administration, just as the na tional debt Of China has been permitted to grow to its pres ent size without any attempt on the part Of the Chinese offi cials to check its growth. In the following monograph I have attempted to make a close study Of the various phases of the financial transactions Of the City Of New York, as re ected in the of actual cash receipts and the of actual cash payments in 1913, and to ex plain how New York City is now financially maintained. Such a study serves to make clear the means by which the city has passed or is passing out Of a financial chaos into a financial system, and affords a valuable lesson for China's benefit. Many Of the scientific methods adopted by New York City in reforming her finances have been adopted by other cities in the United States for reforming theirs. Even the United States Government is now making a special ef. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST An epic, riveting history of New York City on the edge of disaster—and an anatomy of the austerity politics that continue to shape the world today When the news broke in 1975 that New York City was on the brink of fiscal collapse, few believed it was possible. How could the country’s largest metropolis fail? How could the capital of the financial world go bankrupt? Yet the city was indeed billions of dollars in the red, with no way to pay back its debts. Bankers and politicians alike seized upon the situation as evidence that social liberalism, which New York famously exemplified, was unworkable. The city had to slash services, freeze wages, and fire thousands of workers, they insisted, or financial apocalypse would ensue. In this vivid account, historian Kim Phillips-Fein tells the remarkable story of the crisis that engulfed the city. With unions and ordinary citizens refusing to accept retrenchment, the budget crunch became a struggle over the soul of New York, pitting fundamentally opposing visions of the city against each other. Drawing on never-before-used archival sources and interviews with key players in the crisis, Fear City shows how the brush with bankruptcy permanently transformed New York—and reshaped ideas about government across America. At once a sweeping history of some of the most tumultuous times in New York's past, a gripping narrative of last-minute machinations and backroom deals, and an origin story of the politics of austerity, Fear City is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the resurgent fiscal conservatism of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appeal to the People of the State of New York: Adopted by the Executive Committee of Citizens and Taxpayers for the Financial Reform of the City and County of New York There is no occasion for advice from this Committee as to the details of the great fight against all forms of ofi'lcial corruption which has made such cheering progress in this city. If the feeling which prevails among all our good citizens shall be shared by those who are further removed from the evils which at first appalled and then stung us into activity, earnest hearts will find ready means to incarnate honest purposes in noble actions, and to redeem the fair fame of our State for gener' ations to come. We have tried to define the issue as it has pressed on us. If we have succeeded, and if you feel, as we do, that it is now the honest manhood of the State that is on trial, no combination of political tricksters can repress or even d root the swelling tide of popular indignation and resolve. In its presence all ordinary political issues will sink out of sight, and next November will witness a vindi' cation of the manhood of the people of New York, as proud and momentous in its consequences as that which was attested when the State rose as one man at the call of a different form of patriotism.
