Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the trend of U.S. cities implementing business-friendly policies to attract economic resources, aimed at generating jobs and increasing tax revenues. It critically examines the progrowth strategy's assumption that benefits will trickle down to enhance living conditions in working-class and impoverished neighborhoods. By analyzing the implications of these policies, the author sheds light on the potential disparities and challenges faced by less affluent communities in the pursuit of economic growth.
