It sounds like a g...I'll give the book a try. <br /><br />It sounds like a good companion piece to Mason B. Williams' 'City of Ambition: FDR, La Guardia and the Making of Modern New York. <br /><br />The benefits of FDR's New Deal lasted till well after the war and up to the 1970's by which time, as David reminds us in Never a Dull Moment, American cities, especially New York, were dangerous and dirty.

Like most major political issues, most people have a gut feeling about it and then try to pick the statistics which support their position. Most of the numbers are of two types:<br />1. An estimate/ guess of what the impact on some economic measure per person would be which is multiplied by the size of the population to get a national figure, or<br />2. A guess at some national level number which is divided to give a cost per person, or to use the Tories favourite phrase, per "hard working family".<br />Personally I'm in favour of remaining in. I hope we make the right choice for our kid's sakes.
