Collectively those millions of decisions have made New York one of the twenty-first century's few truly global cities. A recurrent analytic theme of this work is that the ups and downs of New York's trajectory are best understood in the context of what was happening elsewhere in the broader Atlantic world. Readers will find that the Atlantic perspective viewed through an economic lens goes a long way toward clarifying otherwise quite perplexing historical events and trends. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in American Economic History,$x2662-3919 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCities and towns$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aUrban Economics 606 $aUS History 606 $aUrban History 606 $aModern History 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 615 24$aUS History. 615 24$aUrban History. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a336.7471 676 $a330.97471 700 $aGurwitz$b Aaron$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0921513 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337677903321 996 $aAtlantic Metropolis$92067172 997 $aUNINA
