Like Crabs in a Barrel: Economy, History and Redevelopment in Buffalo, 2005
Like Crabs in a Barrel: Economy, History and Redevelopment in Buffalo, 2005
When one hears laments about the state of Buffalo's economy—and one does hear such laments quite often these days—that economy is usually measured against an assertedly normal or healthy economy, usually the City's economy in the Fifties. Almost as often one hears ideas about what might improve Buffalo's economy. Generally these ideas can be gathered into two groups, one nostalgia for those high wage, unionized, grunt jobs that everyone remembers from the Fifties and the other pining after whatever seems hot elsewhere in the country – high tech, biotech, architectural tourism, gambling.
