Review Quotes: "This collection from urban historians Sugrue and Diamond invites readers to explore the legacy of neoliberalism associated with initiatives embraced by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. The principal arguments put forward focus on the conscious role played by urban planners, financiers, and municipal and state governments to retreat from a sense of public space and benefits."-- "Choice"
